So I'm having real pain in my elbows whilst riding on my new Topstone. I've been 'uncomfortable' before on other bikes in the past, even had minor back pain, but managed to sort it with the usual adjustments. But this time after about 20 minutes or so and then for the rest of the ride my elbows really start to hurt. When stopping at the lights and trying to stretch them out a bit by bending or whatever it doesnt help at all.
I've tried short stems, longer stems, narrower and wider bars, rotation of the bars, stem spacer arrangements and am completely stumped! Is there anything else I should try or just resign that the frames not working and look for something new?
I'm 170 and on a topstone small..
