[RBW] Back problems--finally figured it out
As some of you may remember, I recently built up a Saluki with your generous help in selecting components. I have an on-and-off bad back, and thought it would be a great idea to raise the handlebars substantially above the level of the seat. Didn't solve the problem, so I ended up lowering the bars to seat level. Magically, my back pain disappeared. The lesson for me is that high bars aren't a magic solution to back problems. I think in my case, the bars when raised were just at the right height to put a lot of stress on my back. In any case, if you're suffering like I was, give it a shot. You never know.
