Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

cleat position and hamstring use

I've switched to a new pair of shoes and I almost have cleat position dialed except some issues with my left hamstring. There's no pain but rather it feels like I'm overusing my left hamstring when riding. Does anyone have an experience with this or know how I may correct thru cleat positioning (cleat fore/aft)? Everything else feels good so I'm reluctant to mess with anything else (eg: saddle height, right shoe cleat position, etc.).

Thanks!

Hamstrings are overused when your seat is too low.
