hi I'm a retard newbie and I need some advice, please put up with me
Just got my first bike, it's a Giant Talon in XL size. the size chart says it's for 183-193 cm people, I'm 192. Maybe I should have gone for XXL but that's another story
Anyway, after setting up my seat height (heel-toe) method, that part seems fine, but now my handlebars are below my seat height
After a ~1h ride on mostly flat terrain, I felt pain in my wrists, the need to stand up, and after that some lower back pain
To me this seems that I'm leaning forward too much, so I tried to raise my handlebars, but it seems it won't be that simple, as it seems they're already at max height.
There's a couple of spacers already preinstalled, and it looks like more won't fit (the nut on top is too short then)
Is getting a new stem with a more aggresive angle the only solution?
