cleat position question
 

In December I did a bike fitting using Retul. Since that time I've been struggling with the cleat position on my right shoe. I feel like I am pushing down and out on the bottom of the pedal stroke and I don’t know if I need to move my cleat. I am feeling pressure on the outside edge of the shoe sole. If I need to move the cleat what way does it need to move? Does it need to be closer to the crank arm or further from the crank arm? Help me understand the rationale. My left leg feels perfect. My right leg feels a little off.

Thanks for your feedback

Your shoe should have marks for cleats, so you can align them properly... Align your right cleat as your left shoe and try it

this doesn't mean much because different people need different cleat positions. also, putting the right in the same position as the left isn't necessarily optimal, but i guess it's worth a shot. i know my right leg moves differently from my left and the cleats need different positions.

OP, i've had a nightmare of a time finding best cleat position and have an issue similar to what you described. i'd also be interested to hear people's feedback on this.

Did they shim your cleats? I used to have an issue with my lower left back. One I got fitted, the problem went away. My fitter moved my cleats out and used shims to set my legs straight.

Go back to your fitter. For 250, they need to keep working with you till its right.

Go back to the Retul guy?

A fitting shouldn't be a one-time event. It should be a process of adjust-and-check until you get it dialed in.

Self-fitting is often a long, frustrating, and ineffective process for finding that best fit.

Yes go back. If its not done right...its a waste of money.

It would also depend of the experience of the fitter.

Call your fitter. I always tell my clients that follow up is free (to a certain degree of course). Occasionally we can't get everything perfect the first time. If you are having an issue, the fitter should be more than willing to help out with it since their name is basically on that fit. If you are not happy, I am sure you will let others know and that is bad for the fitter's business.

Remember; Retul is just a tool. It is still up to the fitter to have the competency to adjust the bike to match your biomechanics. Retul just offers the fitter objective numbers that he/she can use to decide on your conclusive position.
