Sore sit bones, numb hands, hot feet, achy knees, a stiff neck. Find the likely cause and fix it one change at a time, starting with the free fixes.
The Ride Pain Decoder is a 22-page field guide from Number5 Cycling Club. Pick where it hurts, answer a couple of questions, and it sends you down a short path of setup changes in the order most likely to help. Free adjustments come first and purchases come last. Specific numbers (5 mm, 1–2°) take the guesswork out.
