Keep thinking about why I've been over the handlebars twice since starting this Cyclocross stuff. Never did that too often doing downhill, cross country or short track. Gotta be the bike. Although Todd Carver set me up on the Yeti ARC X a couple of years ago with the scifi Retul system, something has changed over time weighting me forward on the bike. Wrists feel strained after riding and sighting down the middle of the front wheel from the handlebars tells me I need to get back. Stem is already a stubby 80mm.
The Salsa Bell Lap handlebars were magnum sized and and forward. Throwing some money at the ARC X by replacing the Salsas with a 44 cm Easton EC70 carbon bar with different geometry might help. Should also go with white cable housings and bar tape to show off mud better.
OK, slow news day.
