Wrist pain (bike related!)

Post by al »

It has been a good long time since I've ridden a bike with clip-on bars for any length of time. The other night I was out on the Falco for a few hours with some short breaks. Since then any sideways or rotational movement in my left wrist has been pretty sore.

Is this what you sports bike riders put up with all the time or do you just get used to it after a while?

You're going too slow. :roll

I had wrist ache at anything less than 70mph on both the 916 and 998. I guess the wind under the chest reduces weight on the wrists.
