After riding fairly regularly for a couple years on an old ten speed (that the bike shop had raised the handlebars on with a stem thingy), I got a new bike this year. It's a Trek, WSD Pilot, and seemed right when I did test rides (and I rode a lot of bikes on test rides), but on longer rides (25 miles) my wrists get really sore.
I took it into the bike shop and they put a different piece on between the handlebar and the stem, with a higher angle, raising the handlebar. But a short ride (15 miles) put my hands to sleep, which scares me (because of the nerve issue).
I've been working on my core strength, but I'm middle-aged, and nothing's going to change much.
I'd really appreciate some suggestions. I ride in the drops because that's most comfortable in all other ways. I'm wondering if getting a stem thing to raise it even higher would help?
Thanks in advance! I've been reading for a while, and you folks have taught me more than I can say.
