    Core strength to just sit and pedal a push bike? Really, if you need great core strength to do that, then I think you’re doing something wrong.

    If you think you push the pedals and pull on the bars without using your core you are either doing something wrong or putting out bugger all power…

    A quick question for the roadies out there – I might be looking for a new road frame soon. I currently ride a 2015 Specialized Roubaix in size 58cm. I sometimes feel that the reach might be slightly too long. Looking at the Specialized size guide I fall between 56cm and 58cm – my questions is if you have the option to go big or small which way should you fall?

    Definitely the smaller of the two, oh and chop it in for a Tarmac and get a longer stem.

    But what do I know??

    We aren’t all as flexible as DT and mrB.

    Mrs B would have a chuckle at that. She does Pilates and yoga and laughs at my inflexibility. I think maybe I’m just a bit flexible in one specific application!

    Did you go for a 56 or a 58 then?
