Knee Angle - Maximum
Ideally the knee should extend to between 145° and 150° at maximum extension. Often an attempt to open the knee angle by raising the saddle will just open up the ankle joint instead. If set too high, the hips will rock, causing lower back pain and saddle sores. read more »

Correction
I stand corrected: Bryan Redemske is actually the sales manager at Trek Stores of Omaha right now. His promotion will be to shop manager. Congratulations Bryan. Where does this leave Mark Savery? He is moving up the ladder as well, becoming more involved with the operation of the entire chain of Trek stores that includes the Omaha store. He will also be more involved with VeloGear, a sister company.

Submitted by jon.m.downey on Sun, 08/30/2009 - 9:40pm.Try as I might, I could not get through a ride on the mountain bike this week. Thursday I was in Lincoln so I took the NRS along planning to ride Wilderness Park. It was borderline muddy but some careful maneuvering kept me out of trouble. But, all that maneuvering helped me find a giant nail which destroyed my only tube. Several attempts at patching it yielded me a walk back to my truck.
To add insult to injury, when I replaced the tube I found the sidewall had gotten cut and the tire was toast. Scratch one Nevegal off the inventory.
Off goes the remaining Nevegal and back on go my well-used Scorpions. read more »
