So today, on a short ride, I noticed that when I'm cycling there's a small sideways rocking motion. For example, if I try to go on a complete straight line, I'll probably fail due to the rocking and I always have to make minor adjustments with my upper body to compensate for this.
I assume this is a posture and proper set up problem. I've heard that the biggest cause for rocking sideways is a saddle set too high. However, if anything, I feel the saddle might be slightly set on the low side, so I don't really think that this can be the cause for it...
I do kind of feel that I'm slightly stretching forwards to reach the handlebars though, could this be related? Any comments/probable causes for such a phenomenon would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
