I think I momentarily popped a disc in my back the other day whilst out riding.<groan>
I have a large frame GT I-Drive 4 mountain bike ( I'm 6'1") and ride a 16 mile off-road circuit most
days. I have recently increased the height of my handle bars by using a AHead extender. I found with
my old setting I was getting a sore back after 10-12 miles so I thought I'd try raising the bar
height even further (I was alreasy using 2.5 inch riser bars because the AHead stem was cut pretty
low by default on the GT)
Does anyone know if there is a recommended 'torso-angle' that I should be trying to achieve so at to
minimise the risk of further back injury ?
Cheers
