Inside quad discomfort
Not sure what’s causing it, but my right leg is uncomfortable right at the vastus medialis muscle (the tear drop shaped muscle above the knee toward the inside).
My saddle height is very good right now I think, I just raised it a few mm, but I feel like I gained a ton of power by doing that, so I hope that’s not causing the discomfort because I would lose a lot of power by lowering my seat.
My cleats are far back on my shoe, but I feel like that gives me more power and I don’t think that’s causing the discomfort.
The other change I made recently was a moving my seat forward a little, now I have about 70-80mm of seat setback (can’t get measurement any more accurae). Do you think moving my saddle back a centimeter or two will reduce my discomfort? It doesn’t hurt while biking but I feel discomfort off the bike.
The only other thing it might be is my mountain bike’s fit, which only has about 40mm of setback because of the seat tube angle.
Any ideas on how to help?
Any help is greatly appreciated,
John
