Hi guys & girls I suffered from post-race headaches for years and thought that changing from Energade to Replenish Overdrive had solved my problems. This weekend after only a 55km (2h 32min) training ride, I developed the most vicious headache in the afternoon. I drank about 1.5 litres of Replenish during the ride which surely is enough? I also had a decent breakfast beforehand but didn't eat along the way (I seldom do in training). I also kept drinking water afterwards and had some lunch. I am at a loss as to what is causing these headaches... Any advice would be appreciated.

Wow - quick response! The Break, apologies I'm not very bike tech savvy... My gloves do have more than one pad, but I could probably do with a new pair - that may help. I do try to move around but mostly hold onto the top part of the bars that point forwards, ie. with my wrists facing inwards and thumbs pointing forwards. I'll have a good look at the angle of the shifters when I get home this evening. This is just strange because I've had this bike for 8 years and have only now had a problem. I have never changed the setup, only replaced wearing parts... and I've probably just earned minus 100 points with the gadget fans :-o

My bike is a Trek 1000

During and after recent training rides of 2 - 3 hours typically, my ring finger and pinkie and side of my hand have gone numb. It takes the rest of the day for the "pins and needles" feeling to subside. For the rest of the week my left hand has felt weak and I've occasionally dropped things like plates while washing up Even a simple thing like pressing a button with my thumb is difficult because the fingers on my left hand feel so weak. Even towards the end of a ride, it becomes difficult to change gears with this spaz hand of mine Any suggestions on changing my hand position or bike setup (a racer)? I haven't been to a physio yet, but probably should. Thanksmoo2u2009-02-23 06:58:20
