Thanks Solarbake. As mentioned above, I have fork suspension, though still get the pins & needles. I suspect I'm still having to lean to far down. Probably need to see about extending the handlebar height. Having said that, it's not a major issue, I can work around it. My cycling is purely...

Thanks Neil. I have suspension on seat stem (Thudbuster ST) and forks (Suntour XCR32), so I think I should be okay. They may not be top of the range, but will have to do me this trip, anyway.
