Hi folks. I am new. About 6 weeks into the change from road bike to tri bike.

I am noticing that longer periods of time in the extensions create lower back pain (more on the right side than the left).

My instinct is to giev this a couple of more months to let my body adapt before being concerned that I need to change my positioning (I was fit at LBS).

Did ya'lls backs hurt when you were starting out?

thx!

Did you get a good fit? If not, you should. You should not be having lower back pain, if you are there may be something wrong with your position/fit.

dont know if it was a good fit or not. Lack of experience. But if sore back is not normal, I will head back for an adjustment.

I think that I am a bit inflexible in my lower back. I had just written the pain off to needing more flexibility. I would be thrilled to find that it would go away with some positioning adjustments.
