Hi,
I have recently fallen in love with road cycling and I am eager to pursue this passion, however, ever since I first rode a road bike, I have been plagued with an extremely painful sensation in my hands and fingers even after riding for only a minute, I assumed that this was just something that I would have to get used to, but even after several months, the pain has not gone away.
I have read countless forums, webpages etc. regarding 'solutions' for hand pain and I have tried them all; Flipping the stem, changing the angle of the handlebars, using thick gloves, using thin gloves, changing the saddle position/tilt, but to no avail.
Does anyone have any suggestions as I feel that I need to solve this problem for my passion for cycling to continue.
By the way, I am 6 ft (183cm) and I ride a 60cm B'twin Triban 3
Thanks,
Guy
