Hello All
new to this site, bought a 2nd hand bike around 2 weeks ago and have fell in love with the sport!
Already signed up for a 54 mile ride in the aid of Children Cancer. Been out training 3 night a weeks gradually building up from 6 to 20 miles and looking to go further. However experiencing a minor problem, i'm getting a pain under my right rib after riding an hour plus, i bought my bike seconf hand which is a Specialized Allez 2009 model in an XL (58.4) frame. I've look on the size guide for this bike and recommends 6ft + in height (183cm +), im 180cm tall.
Could this be the issue? I heard a shorter stem may improve stance? However i will post a stance position picture tonighth, however in the mean time any info would be appreciated.
Regards
Anth
