Relaxing is easier said than done given my dirt skills but I was definitely mindful of gripping too tight so I'm not convinced it was overgripping. I actually wonder if it was my grip during the steep climbing that did the damage because the pain was there pretty bloody early in the downhill so maybe I need to relax grip on the uphill more (easier said than done when you're a fat fuck on steep stuff).
hippy
Outside fingers get super sore on longer descents - maybe coz I'm covering the brakes and they're the only things left gripping or because of bar shape? Thoughts?
Descending with a dropper down feels fucking weird with no saddle to thigh feedback and feels double weird when I throw an outside foot down for a #leany (don't lean) corner. Do you just get used to it or am I doing something stupid?
Feet in my FiveTens also ache stood on pedals. Maybe need to look at inner sole with arch support or something. Bigger pedals might help the feeling of foot sliding off the outside? Currently have the plastic Nukeproofs fitted.
