Making sure your crash hat fits right can make a big difference. I had
trouble having to crane my neck when I first got the RS which seemed odd
as the bars are higher than others I've used. After a while I realised
that my AGV had stretched to the extent that my eyes were higher in the
aperture than they should be so I was having to lift my head
significantly to see forwards. A new Quantum F solved the problem
immediately.
