Thread dig.
Been back from Tassie 8 weeks now and I still have wrist problems.
We rode 25 days out of the 28 and I initially thought I'm getting a bit older and the 4 weeks of descending basically every day has taken it toll on my old body.
My wrists have exactly the same degree of pain in the joints on both sides, where I find it painful to lift and twist with my hands up, elbows down. There is no pain when lifting something with my arms by my side, eg lunges holding dumbbells (Kettlebells would also be ok Hambo)
I crawled about below my trailer yesterday and humped 80-100kg axles around underneath it and today I could hardly lift my plate and cup of tea up.
My Deviate is as smooth as a babies bum and my position on that bike feels great but I can only think it has to do with cockpit setup with the riser bars and my new found like of rolling my bars a bit further forward.
Note: The rolling of the bars forward came from my issue with the last bike, too much weight over the rear and not balanced in the attack stance. Its only a little bit, nothing drastic. Basically to give me a better feel when standing in the attack stance... but may be the reason for this wrist pain.
I run the OneUp 35mm riser bars on my Deviate and the regular OneUp 20mm ride on my Spur, my other bikes which are seldom ridden have similar 20mm rise Renthals and the likes.
Grips are slightly different from my usual Ergon GE1's, I went with the GD1's on my Deviate.
Everything else is the same including 780mm bar width across all my bikes.
Any ideas, this is the first time in 15yrs of serious MTBing that I have ever had wrist pain.
