It'll go great with your studying to be an engineer and taking up veganism.

And training to ride up a gravel road in 2024.

So the issue is popliteus tendinopathy.

Engineer? Veganism? Pass on both thanks.

You'll be amazed where they can lead to.

Are you bow legged?
Do you push too high a gear when climbing?
Is your seat too high?

No
No (46T or 51T/32T on most climbs!)
Maybe but I still have a bend in my knee at full crank extension. I'll lower my seatpost a fraction and see if that helps.

You should have a bend in you knee at full crank extension.

Yeah exactly, I already have one but I'm not discounting the idea that I my bend isn't acute enough.

 

[pink poodle]

If your pedal is a clock...what time does your foot say it is?

 

[ozzybmx]

Yeah exactly, I already have one but I'm not discounting the idea that I my bend isn't acute enough.

Should be between 20° to 30°. Mine is closer to 30°.

 

[Jabubu]

I'm pretty sure I have something similar. I'll do the heel test and come back.

Ha, I missed the return of the Hambubu because my back has been shit and I haven't been riding. Physio is booked in. Been using the Theragun for some relief, fuck getting old!

This bugger is giving me a bit of jip at the moment. mainly because I cant ride, due to a torn tendon in my lower back that has decided to fill with gloop. Had it drained, then got an injection of my own blood into the tendon to see if that helps....seems better?. But there is always someone worse off, so I'm not really whinging.

Hi Scotty, likewise..

I’ve been experimenting with faster rebound lately. Feels fast as but it seems all my joints have been copping a hiding. Spoke to a gp about sore wrists/ ankles/ thumbs and he starts talking to me about arthritis. FFS I’m sure I’m not that old?
YKYGOW you have to slow your rebound down for comfort

The physio has me doing some resistance training now.. with a kettlebell! My knee and top of my calf still burn sometimes followed by no pain at all.

I shall trust the process though. 580vm this week isn't bad but I've got more in me
