Aidan97 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 over the past few weeks the lower part of my back is really starting to hurt when im riding, im unsure on how its happened and its really annoying. Does anyone else have this problem and know how to treat it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex-Geo Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 A friend of mine had the same problem as you, he was tall and he was riding a 20", but then he went to 26" and his back pains where a lot better then before, so it could depend on height and size of bike maybe??

AlexxRogers Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Get higher bars/stem. Play around with set-ups and angle of your bars etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 It could also be that you're just using muscles you haven't before - you're still developing. By all means try different component combos, but if it doesn't work then maybe listen to your body a bit and give it a little rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forteh Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Deep heat cream and pain killers should do it. Better to suffer the pain, that way you arent going to ride whilst its still hurting = letting the muscles recover before you damage them further As JD said, its likely just muscular pain from overworking muscles you dont often use, give it a couple of days to recover until it stops hurting and go out riding again, they will soon aclimatise to the work.
