The 916 was meant to be incredibly uncomfortable........

Yep, apparently they're a shit of a thing to commute on... but would you? Ticking up miles on the NC30 isn't so bad, they're cheap enough

Ok I've been riding my NC30 for about a month now, and I'm still getting really sore wrists, even when I try and take the load off them, and a sore arse after a while (I don't think there is much I can do about that). Anyway does anyone have any hints about stopping the pain, as at the moment it's really making me consider going back to something a little less painful (any suggestions on bikes that would be?)

exactly the same thing on my NC30, plus i also get a sore neck after a while on a longer ride from holding my head up all the time.
F all you can do about it really. Its just the way the bike is. I don't mind to much as my ten month old daughter doesn't let me ride very often anyway. But i still dig riding it.

And also, doesn't the Whitford to Maraitai road suck now, 80 k and double yellows, no fun at all

well with the improved posture I didn't get sore at all today, so thanks kiwibiker, you saved my life (from needless pain)
