Since you built it the way you did to save money, it would be ironic, I think, to now go and sell it short to a bargain hunter. Back to your hip. Assuming that you have been a DF rider of some experience, this hip pain is not likely caused by any aspect of riding a bicycle. But I'm not a doctor. I'd seek medical or physical therapeutic advice. Are the 'appointments' you refer to of that nature? If yes and the pain is only associated with riding then you need to examine how you ride a bicycle. More to the point what has changed in your bike riding. Did you join a club? Increase mileage by more than 10% in one jump? Move to a more mountainous area?
i meant I should of test rode some bents before I bought one.
i built it like I wanted to save money, but it is also higher speced and lighter than their prebuilts. I have a full 105 11 speed group I bought from Wiggle while theirs came with SRAM 9 speed.
Put it this way, In Canada a CA3.0 would cost $6400 CND to import after exchange and duty, that’s if you don’t get hit with fully duty for buying a completed bike, and I came in at around 4k on my build. Although I did use my existing wheels.
At this point i believe it is trigger point in my adductor referring pain to the pelvic region.
This all started riding 2k in 6 weeks on a saddle that I found was 2-3 cm to high later on after a bike fit. It was absolutely because of cycling this started. I’m hoping with some myofachial release I will be able to ride again. Already feeling way better after massaging and stretching my adductors for a week.
