Hey everyone,

I hope this is the right place to post this as I had a look through and couldn’t really find a “Fit” section!

I’m having a little trouble, after x2 bike fits, with my knees. Not horrendous but a continuous issue that I can’t quite crack and would like to get sorted before I start training for LEJOG.

On my left knee I keep getting ITB related issues on the outside of my left knee and the top of the outter shin at the top of the fibula.

On my right knee I get a slight dull ache in the anterior/medial part of the soft tissue of the knee a few hours after a ride. As stated above I’ve had to two bikes with the most recent being very good and everything seems to be where it should be but for some reason I can’t seem to make any fine adjustments to cleats/position to stop the niggles.

I stretch once per day, I see a sports massage therapist once per week and I’m in the gym 3-4 times a week strength training. The training is mixed between lightweight and high rep and also the opposite some weeks. Training is split upper and lower.

If anyone has any advice or had similar I’d appreciate any tips. At the minute I’ve played with applicable slight rotation of cleats etc to no avail and am reluctant to do so as I have been fitted so I’m guessing the cleats are pretty spot on. Bike size is correct etc.

Thanks!
