Hi
On a ride yesterday after raising my saddle a pain I sometimes get on the top of my right hip bone seemed worse.
The saddle was raised in a bike fit and he said the motion looked good. Now, reflex reaction is just move the saddle down, even if only incrementally. However, in the new position hills and even big efforts on the flat do seem much much easier.
I did notice that as I could put more power in, often I was in a higher gear than normal with a lower cadence. So I'm wondering if its worth persevering for at least 1-2 rides, making sure I'm getting the gearing/cadence right.
I will be chatting to the guy who did the fit as well as he said to get in touch with feedback but just thought I'd see what people on here thought as well.
Cheers :-)

. Get an exercise programme. Am suffering myself right now with hip and back, as well as knee and leg, physio is helping ( but my does some of it hurt)! I too had a bike fit, 6cm increase in saddle height, more comfortable, but lowered it a little as I simply couldn't stop safely in traffic and was getting cramp in my foot, trying to reach the ground!
