I pulled the following section from my rocker plate topic.
When you have a bike that is perfectly comfortable outside, and then leads to problems when ridden inside, I feel it is important to look at what is different. When you do, there are two key differences.
- Lack of wind resistance on the body riding inside. That is a difference that I find because you end up with slightly more weight on the hands and arms, because you don’t have the wind pushing your upper body back.
- To compensate for that, I recommend that people raise the front axle about 1"-2" [25mm-50mm] higher than the rear axle. This shifts the weight slightly back onto the saddle and off the hands and arms.
Just little trick I found after riding outside on a bike in perfect comfort, and then having hand pressure and numbness issues around 15 mins into a training session inside. Just a way to alter weight distribution for less force on the hands and arms while inside.
