I have a problem wiht my right knee, well it is really soft tissue related, the tendon that connects the calf to the back of the knee. I have been really trying to feel what is going on there and have noticed that my ankle is not restricting my foot movement at the bottom of my stroke when I am in power mode.
This might be due to the fact that I have severely compromised ligaments in that ankle. Two loose bits of bone connected to free floating ligament, A relic of rugby/skiing/ falling down a set of stairs in my youth. I never considered my ankle injury as effecting anything but now I am not so sure.
Anyway after talking with a friend he suggested I move my cleat position back on the foot to more centralize the power transfer. So I moved it back about 5-6mm. I also brought my seat a bit forward and lowered it a bit to compensate, because it seemed to shorten my hip to pedal distance a little. Will take it and my tools for a longer test ride tomorrow up Arakawa see how things go...:bike:
Anyone have any thoughts on all this, particularly with how the cleat position effects things like power transfer etc... front/back, in/out???
Thanks for any info...
