Knee pain

[Crackle]

If you can still feel it, bearing in mind you've had this happen the last few times you've been on the bike, then I'd rest it, ice it and perhaps stretch it or use roller on your hamstrings, certainly the first two. If it doesn't clear up I'd consider a sport therapist/Physio but I'd be cautious riding on it until it doesn't react.

Its absolutely fine now, unlike last week.

Last week i couldn't walk for a day and a half with out limping

Ive lowered the saddle slightly and moved it forward slightly too

Its just really frustrating as i was starting to get some good miles going now im worried about going too far incase the mrs cant get me next time.

Im wondering wether, when up hill struggling in a low gear im putting my heal down at the bottom of the stroke abit causing my leg to straighten too much.

Saddle is way too high....look at your hips rocking

Lower saddle until the hips stop rocking

Thats set 5mm lower than the bike fit had it at!

Generally it looks OK, as you'd expect from a bike fit. The only thing I thought I noticed was that your heel lift is uneven, sometimes high, sometimes low. As you said, if under load you're flattening your foot more that might be the cause. I thought generally you're a heel up rider which will strain your calfs.

Watch this guy

No, saddle isn't too high, looks about right, look at leg extension.

Heel on pedal not ball of foot

You look pretty upright and straight of arm to me, but I'm no expert

Do you always ride in joggers or padded shorts? The latter put you higher, you need to replicate how you ride /were actually fitted to the bike (Shoes make a difference too)

 

[gazza81]

Ive raised the bars 1cm since the fit as i feel more comfortable the more upright i am

Do you have any bend in your elbows though?

 

[gazza81]

I do yeah, slightly

Maybe i could do with a little more bend.
Is that done bu lowering the bars or tilting the hoods up more?

Tbh im more concerned about the knee pain as its definitely either a fit problem or a technique problem
