If it becomes a recurring problem over severl rides after making tweaks and you can't get rid of it, then maybe get a fit.

"Go get a pro fit" because i got a sore whatever. Yeah right. Let some pseudo scientist with a computer dazzle you and it will cure all.
Bingo...

I've had the gammit of body aches and it all started with me knees...

Got a number of so called 'pro-fits' and each one fit me slightly differently an none helped...

What helped me was reading countless articles on fit and making slight adjustments myself and then listening to my body. I still have issues that I am working through, but things are definitely much better then they were...

I also find that as I start to feel better, less pain, I push harder....Then a new pain begins....Of course at this point I have to figure out if it's a change I have made, or just the fact I stepped it up!
