When I stand on the pedals to go up hill I started getting bad back pain in my lower back. Do I need to put more spacers in the front or something? I feel pretty arched over on my bike.
But I'm 5'11" and it's a 56cm bike so it should fit me.

Could be a couple of things - bars too low, stem too long, saddle too far forward. We'd really need to see you on the bike to tell, but a picture of the bike could tell if there's anything obviously unusual about your setup.

I was getting something similar. tilting the saddle forward fixed it.

it's a little small for you.
is the reach long enough or are you cramped?
regardless do some core exercises for a month or so and see if it improves

your frame is too big, disregard everything else that anyone said.
you can ride a 54 to 55, but not 56.

Have you tried seeing a doctor to examine your spine?

This doesn't sound like a bike problem anymore.

1) stop riding and stop the gym
2) Go see a doctor
3)once you're healed up fix you fit. Either go see a professional or post picture here if you're cheap.

Just be wary of step 2. Most doctors just want to jab a scalpel into you without no real need for it or fill you up with painkillers that don't solve the underlying issue. Most back pains can be treated conservatively and with appropriate exercise.

>stand on the pedals
haha LOL I sincerely hope you don't do this. Just downshift and take it steady, the hills will melt away. you're not doing the Tour de France or anything.
And you do have a triple chainwheel with a low range... don't you? Let me guess, you spent more to get a bike without one, or better yet, removed it, because you thought shaving off 50g was worth hills being the bane of your existence?
As for the back pain, well maybe you're just getting old. Imagine being such a stereotypical weekend MAMIL that you do your back in trying to beat your previous time on an app. Damn kids these days and their phones!

Not everywhere is america, cleetus. But I do sometimes wish it was, because I'd love to go to the doctor's with a paper cut on my left thumb and walk away with enough xannys to sedate a horse for a month.

I know. But that's the general model I'm afraid.

You probably irritated your back while climbing on your bike, don't ride until it heals, so like 2 weeks. If it doesn't get better, see a doctor. Bike seems to be proper size, you probably just have a weak back/core.

i used to have back pain riding my dirt jumper for longer rides and i fixed it with higher rise bars but i think the situation is different since on a dj bike you are never on the saddle
