Could be a number of things...saddle height / position on rails and reach of bars. CHange some of the settings and see if a more upright setup helps.

sounds your back isn't really sorted. I've had similar problems but I'm loathe to give advice as i'm not qualified.

If you aren't seeing a physio then you should. I was given some back strengthening exercise to do. Nothing scary - it took months to fix and i had to be careful - but it's been fine now for 3-4 yers.

i have physio everyday for 3 hours but she says that i need to do biking as it is good for my back, just wondering if there is way to climb hills which can help etc

i was only doing road biking on my mountain bike with some slik tyres on but got to this not very steep but very long hill and just got a massive pain in the bottom of my back, should i be climbing hills standing up or sitting down, any ways that can help climbing hills which will help my back would be great

Might be your Core muscles. Do you rock your back from side to side when climbing? My physio gave me some exercises to do, and I've noticed while i stile get aches, it's got a lot lot better, and my riding has improved because of it.

i seem to lean back a bit when im going up a hill but i dont go side to side i sit down and just push on. Is there a way to tackle hills??? Either standing up or sitting down?
