When I venture out of (the very flat) peterborough I get cramp in my fimgers from one finger braking and holding on tightly.

Today I was riding locally and noticed that all my weight was on my hands, which probably compounds the issue…

Bike is 20″ frame and I’m just over 6′ tall. I’ve got a couple of spacers on top of my stem so might try sticking them underneath to pull my weight back a bit.

try and focus on keeping your bodyweight over/on your feet/BB and release the death grip.

i’m really struggling with that! i have to push myself back to do so, which makes handling a bit awkward.

might tilt the seat back ever so slightly.

What angle are your brake levers at?

There pointing belowe horizontal so my finger is in line with arm when braking.

Why is nobody suggesting electrolyte drinks; that’s what cures cramp according to the sports drink companies…

Crikey, I was thinking exactly the same thing.
