• Think about bending your elbows. Then bend them. Repeat until it's second nature.
    Remind yourself to relax your shoulders.

  • It's weird that I even have to think such things. Getting old I guess.
    I've burrowed a roller with a view to doing some stretches/ exercises to try make me a little more supple too.

    I could change the bars but it's £300 for a like for like so that's a bit of a last resort. For reference stack is currently maximum.

  • Habits. The only way to break them is to focus on fixing them until the fix becomes second nature. £300 bars aren't worth shit if they're the thing causing your pain. Internet bike fit though so it could be bloody anything. I'd still get into the habit of having bent arms - free suspension.
