Rigids.....

Ben1234 · June 2007

Been warning about rigids hurting/damaging your wrists when riding...
Since i'm now getting a pair, thought i'd need to make them stronger (more able to copy with the harder riding)
Any tips?

Thanks

Right then, had a physio appointment today about my wrists, so allow me to reiterate what they told me...

1. Weights. Hold your forearm flat, and grip the weights. SLOWLY move your wrist up and down. Then turn your wrist over to do the other side, then onto both sides so you do it from all 4 sides.
2. Swimming. Resistance to motion in all directions. Do it.

Whip out your salami and do some exercise.

is it bad that my wrists hurt doing that without any weights?

Start playing guitar, made my wrists much stronger. They used to strain all the time.

Sometimes it overheats. You have to make sure it's in a ventilated place all the time.

IMO charge forks are the nicest looking rigids out there, but its all personal preference really
