Oh, the joys of a new bike! Nice and clean and crisp shifting and all the assorted aches and pains you get until you get your position dialed in!!

First it was the pain in the knees until I got the seat adjusted just so and now I am playing with stem angle, length and bar position. The pain in my thumbs is not any fun either. Tomorrow I go to get a new Ritchey Pro Ergo bar installed and a really good look at how I am positioned on the bike (again). Me thinks I am leaning too far out and down, but damned it feels good everywhere but my hands. I am low and aggressive on the hoods and just about flat in the drops! Everything feels good except that my hands ache for a day or so after a ride of more than an hour. It doesn't help that the roads in my area are kind of rough so I get a real hammering in the wrists some times.

Just wanted to moan a bit, but if anyone has any ideas I am willing to listen.
