Title: Aches and pains
Post by: steeo on June 18, 2014, 10:21:16 PM

Back on the road for a few weeks now trying to get back fit again after tearing my Achilles.

Now my legs and ass pained me for the first few days but the palm of my hands are still paining me after a cycle is this usual ???

If you are riding on rough roads with super hard road tyres you will get some pains in your hands try a pair of gloves that have a gel pad and maybe reduce tyre pressure a little.

I don't wear a backpack at the minute.
I was thinking the tyres might have been sending all the shock up through my hands (max pressure for tyres are 50psi and I'm running them at 40psi)
Think ill have to look into a pair of gloves

Thanks for the info. I'm holding off going off-road for the minute because if they are this sore on the road what will they be like after a spin off-road.

As your off road skills develop you will find that the death grip is less needed
