problem ( but old age and practice ), according to people who ride with there handle bars even with there
saddle, or even several inches lower, I did not say I was dying, just a little sore, and this was not happing before. Maybe I just need to ride the new bike more. As all recommended settings fit me perfect the way I
both bikes adjusted. Thanks Richard
How sore after how far is the big question. My handlebars are a few inches lower than my saddle, and I hardly use my arms to keep me balanced.
There really should be little difference in your arms, would probably be in your back since your posture is different. Regardless of where the bars are, you shouldn't be supporting most of your weight on your arms.
