  1. Hello All,

    Let me tell you my story and let me see what you guys recommend.

    If you are a person who seems a little bit nervous in descents and corners which bike would you recommnend to help you the most?

    I have a Cervelo R3 and while beautiful and fast I sometimes feel it is too light and even the slightest movement or twitch makes the bike feel unstable. Is there a bike which is as light but has a stiffer feel in the corners and descents?

    And before anyone asks, no I do not need to get the Cervelo off my hands....and into yours.

    Thank you all for your help.

  2. I suspect that the rider and not the bike need more stability 🙂

    Provided that the bike is assembled and adjusted properly, perhaps some changes in rider position and technique during descending may improve the feel of stability.

    A quick google came up with this:

    http://www.roble.net/marquis/descending
    http://www.bicyclesource.com/you/road/descending-cornering.shtml
    http://cvcbike.org/club/descend.html

    A different set of wheels/tires may also change the feel of the bike quite a bit.
