hi PinoyMTBiker peeps, I have a question, why do I always have this numb feeling, particularly on the right side of my body (arms & legs [more on my arms than in my legs])   :'(during climbs ...does it has to do w/ the geometry of my bike? BTW my frame size is 15.5 and my height is 5'7''...TIA  |

Could be lots of things in the small details. Try changing your seat height a little, and check the angle of your saddle... is it tilted to the back or front? Try getting bar ends, that will let you alter your position while climbing. Try having other riders look at your posture when climbing, see if they notice anything unusual.

hmmm... tough to answer, but I'll throw something out there. If adjusting you bike doesn't do anything for you make a change to your riding style. When climbing for long periods of time try changing your position slightly from time to time. If your upper body is in a still position for a long time you may be tensing up a bit. or you may be pinching a nerve and changing positions slightly may take some pressure off.
