Yes. it is my IT band that is in pain.
You know ... that might be the problem. --- one thing that is different from this bike compared to my other bikes, is the crank arm length. the Cervelo rotor3d is 170+mm ... and my track bikes both have 165mm crank arms. I have kinda short legs. So it would make sense for my saddle to drop a bit.
Also .. I'm using moutain-bike SPDs currently. (which have no float) while i find a good deal on proper road pedals/shoes.
I'll try lowering my saddle on a ride this weekend ... and maybe even switch out my pedals to a pair of old-school cages+straps. see if that helps.
thanks.
