andrecapetown Posted March 3, 2012 Share I also suffer from lower back pain due to weal core + short hamstring. I tried the 'spider tech' lower back spider tape, stays on for up to 5 days. I kept it on for 4 das after the race over ou kaapse last sunday. Normally I would have that nagging low intensity back pain for the week after a long ride, I had none of it. I dont really believe in this kind of thing, but now i'm sold. I suggest you try it, with core + hamsting stretches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted March 5, 2012 Share No doubt core strength and stretching is important, but so is bike set up. I suffered hugely on longer races - I recall stopping repeatedly in agony on the Knysna 85km MTB several years back. I adjusted my bike set up to provide a more stretched position - by lowering my stem which seems strange. However, it worked and I did all the training and a sani2C without any problems. Perhaps get a professional bike set up or start experimenting yourself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
