• Defo sounds like a positioning thing to me.

    One point to note, that hasn't been directly mentioned, is that it's not just the handlebar position (both in terms of length and height, relative to the saddle), it's also your saddle position relative to the pedals. Your saddle wants to be not too far back, but far enough so that you can just take your hands off the bars and stay in balance without toppling forward. This way, your bum carries most of the load and your arms and thus shoulders don't have to work hard at all. Once the saddle is set, then the handlebars fall into place.

    And, yes, 90psi in the tyres is a good idea!

    okay the balance/weight on saddle is a much better advice and much easier to do, brilliant, thank mate!
