Hey burners. I put this in somewhere else but had not love, so I'm reposting here to try and get your help.
I've been riding for about 6 months and noticed that my right wrist gets a bit tight / sore after a ride. Doesn't matter if it is mtb, road or spin. Could it be one or more of those bikes is not set up correctly for me, and then riding at all exacerbates the problem? Or maybe I need to develop my forearms for the rigours of riding (I usually do a few laps of Appin every weekend)? I didn't originally think riding would require much effort of the upper body but I have rethought that. I plan on trying some new spongy grips as suggested in another forum. I have looked at my setup and I'm pretty comfortable. Maybe I need to try to keep my elbows bent? I haven't really noticed that I lock them up, and I still have a bit of stiffness on the spin bike. Any advise greatly appreciated
