New Bike and Wrists

[northstar]

As to the problem, if I ride with my elbows locked and my weight on my hands I will have hand or wrist problems. This is easy to do toward the end of a long or hard ride. Concentrate on keeping a little bend in the elbows and keeping your upper body weight off of the bars.

HTH,

Hi there!

If I feel soreness in my wrists, I usually realize that I've locked out my elbows and I'm really leaning on them. I'm trying to make sure I've softened my elbows, and that helps a lot. (Also feels better on the bumps!) Just a good habit that doesn't require any mechanical adjustment!
