Recently i have noticed that when i go on medium to long rides i get horrible pain in my shoulders,inside of my elbows,and left bicep. I barely used my drops on yesterdays ride and stuck mostly to the flat bar since i was not in a hurry and just out for a ride. I made sure to change up sometime though so i wouldn't get too sore. On the ride back into alabama i started getting pains in my elbows,mostly my left and my left bicep felt like it was ripping in half. My main problem however was the sharp pain in my neck/shoulder. My seat height is fine and i adjusted it back some and it seems fine. Could my stem be a little too long?? I'm new to bike fitting and i know while it's not the most comfortable style bike,it shouldnt actually cause pain riding it.


Any ideas??
