    No, it's the fact that you are using gears you are not fit for.


    You were probably mashing and tearing up your quads... sorry to be so blunt.
    But you are covering the topic nicely in your other thread.... you forgot to mention you wore yourself out so much you had to throw up at home.

    Sounds like you need lower gearing. Also sounds like you need to build your strength up a bit at a time.
