New Bike and Wrists

[SouthernBelle]

One other thing that occurred to me. Your bars could be too wide. If you are, say, on the hoods, your bars are too wide so that your hands rest an inch outside your shoulders on each side, that throws your weight forward.

Have someone measure your shoulders from the bony protuberance at each joint.

Thank you all for your help.

I haven't had a chance to have someone measure my shoulders, but that seems like a smart idea.

I had the bike shop change up the handlebars slightly, so my wrists are straignt. And I've been being very conscious to keep them at a neutral angle and bend my arms, and keep them relaxed. And it all seems to be helping.

Thanks again, you folks really help!
