Subject: RE: Felt like I was biking through sand.This happened to me twice recently. Once I knew the cause immediately (and presumably this was not your problem ) -- I had just biked through fresh (as in, steaming ) asphalt (I had little choice ). It felt like I was riding with glue on my tires for a while after that (and I guess I sort of was ). The second time (and I suppose this could be happening to you ) I finally discovered that the master link in my chain was quite stiff. (One more reason why I will NEVER go back to that bike shop.... ) I replaced the chain and then all was right with the world. But yeah, often when I get this feeling, it's because of physical issues with me, not mechanical issues with the bike. |
