Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Morning,
Yesterday I completed my second 50 mile sportive. At about 2.5 hours, I started to get pain on the outside of my right knee and in the small of my back (right side). When I wiggled the toes on my right foot, I could feel it 'pulling' in my back. Pain immediately went away when I got off the bike but returned when I had been riding for a bit. By the end of the ride, the pain in my back was quite nasty. Can this be caused by the position of my cleats? Or is it down to the bike? I have had a professional bike fit, but I've changed my shoes since then and guessimated where the cleat should go, and I also had a bursitis in my right hip last year.

And secondly, would I benefit from a coach? I've been cycling seriously for a year now and I'm wondering if a coach, with bespoke training plans will help me lift my training from it's current 'meh' status into making me all whizzy.

Thank you

Wobbling ain't a he.

IMO the problem could be down to the bike or the cleats or something else, which is about as helpful as Boris Johnson at a cycling safety demonstration.

Cleat position matters. Did you do the new ones with the old shoes as a gauge ?

Can you ride in the old shoes ?

Coaching - if you can align a goal with a coach then yes. Everyone benefits from the right coaching.

Gobi - my old shoes were very basic - there was one cleat position, that was it. I'll give the old shoes a whirl, see if that helps. Thanks.

Are we talking two point or three point (or four, but I think only the PoD does Speedplay) fastening here?
