Advice on neck / back pain
in the wire
Posts: 79
After about 4 hours on a ride the other week I started getting spasmodic pain around the first vertabrae below my neck.
Next time in the saddle after a few days I got the pain after only 10 mins.
Things I've tried so far are to no avail are:
-Replaced my crap helmet which was slipping forward
-Tilted my drop handlebars up a bit.
The next thing I'm going to try is lowering my saddle a bit in case I'm rocking my back. Has anybody come across that before?

Are your handlebars too wide? Your hands should be in line with your shoulders. If you are small framed your standard bars may be too wide; splaying your arms and straining your back / shoulders.
Getting narrower bars worked for meI want to climb hills so badly;
