Hello all,
I am hoping to receive some suggestion about how to adjust the ergonomics to make this bike work for me. Within just 30 minutes of starting my ride I keep getting what feels like a pain due to a pressure point somewehre between my shoulder blades.
I'm 5'8" about 165lbs with moderately athletic build. So far I've tried the flat seat mod (with and without airhawk cushion) and I had a 1" bar riser for the last about 4 months. I installed a 2" riser last week but that did not help and within 35 minutes the pressure point and pain feeling was back.
Strange thing is if I am on highway and adjust my upper body posture too much to try and avoid the pain between the shoulder blades then I start getting a strange uncomfortable pressure in my left rib cage.
I have order a corbin seat which I'm going to try next week and if that also doesn't work out then I'm running out of options and I'll have a start considering getting another bike which I don't want to because I really want to like this bike.
I am also not a new biker, I've been riding for over 11 years and used to have a yamaha stryker on which I've done 2500+ miles ride and I have never experience this strange pain.
Any suggestion of what I should try next is welcome.
