Any recommend stretches to improve valve reaching?

Cheers, Joe

Pop into the shop when I'm around and I'll show you a few, but lets see if you're having a problem first.

The question for me is:

How often should I stretch to get some result?

Once a week, twice?

Depends how tight your range of movement is, I'm doing every other day!

Because of a motorbike accident I can not reach my right post with my right hand so I do all the drill with my left hand wet and dry. I can really see a big difference when I do the drill after a good strech.

How often to stretch?

As often as you like! If you do a gentle stretch every time you sit down/stand up the benefits will be all yours.

But remember..... gentle stretch.

Daily!

I had problems reaching my valves before starting stretching.
Doing my exercises daily helped me.
