Sore elbows?

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

If I move the seat back, won't that make it harder to not lock my elbows? I'll give it a shot if you think it will help.

My husband thinks my seat should go forward a bit but he is not an expert so I'll listen to you guys first!!!

Most people think moving the seat forward will help, but it just throws you off balance more, throws your weight forward. Moving the seat back will shift your center of gravity back a bit and off your hands. I suspect it's the weight on your arms that's causing your elbow pain (like it did to me). I had terrible elbow pain in one elbow from my weight being too far forward.

Try both methods: ride with elbows not straight, shoulders more relaxed. Then try moving your saddle back a half inch to an inch. Give each method a couple of weeks to see how it works- elbows take time to respond favorably to a position improvement, i have found.
