Is it the car or your tires (or the driver)?Drifted my miata through another intersection unintentionally on the wet roads this morning. Love the car but damn it's squirrelly in the rain.
The car is light, I'm on all-seasons and dying doesn't scare me.Is it the car or your tires (or the driver)?
try rotating your bars to a more comfortable position. its free. what bars? width? back and up sweep?Hey quick question for all you bike riders out there, anybody had issues with their wrists while riding? I think I totally f'ed up my wrists skateboarding and falling on them for years. Now when I ride for a while they hurt and become numb after a while. I've tried changing positions and I take my hands off the bars a lot but even after the rides they seem to be inflamed for a while after. Looking for some options to help with it.....

Having too much weight supported by your hands/upper body. Sounds counter-intuitive, but find a more supportive saddle position. Lengthen the Stem, assuming the handlebar roll is adequate for medium to long rides.Hey quick question for all you bike riders out there, anybody had issues with their wrists while riding?

I'm on a bi-annual head grooming schedule.
my beard hasn't been fully groomed since..... november. partially groomed yes, so i don't look like a basement neckbeard.
I have not gone this long without a haircut since high school. I was just wondering what it would look like if I let it grow, since I usually keep my hair cut as short as it can get with scissors, so I decided to grow it out over the winter. Turns out it's got a Ted Danson thing going on....big and thick and not even a hint of losing any of it. Lots of grey on the sides but not as much on top. I could probably style it up into a good Wolverine look if I felt so inclined.I'm on a bi-annual head grooming schedule.
Doing some additional reading it seems like my handlebars may be a little low for my seat height. I'll start there. Thanks for the help.Having too much weight supported by your hands/upper body.

lengthening the stem for ergonomics will also impact handling characteristicsHaving too much weight supported by your hands/upper body. Sounds counter-intuitive, but find a more supportive saddle position. Lengthen the Stem, assuming the handlebar roll is adequate for medium to long rides.

Don't pay attention to that saddle to bar height. You want to be able to isolate and to lock your lower back in a comfortable position. Saddle-to-handlebar height would only be a match for the same rider physiology on the same length stem, same saddle to crankset etc. etc.Doing some additional reading it seems like my handlebars may be a little low for my seat height.

.5psi should fix it.The car is light, I'm on all-seasons and dying doesn't scare me.
edit: It is just now occuring to me I could reduce pressure in my tires. Good talk, guys.
this is bad advice for mountain biking.Don't pay attention to that saddle to bar height. You want to be able to isolate and to lock your lower back in a comfortable position.

Try a little more stretched position, tighten that core.
