🧭 START HERE - How This Community Works 👋
Welcome to the free community of The Bike Fit Academy. This space exists to support proper, thoughtful discussion around Bike Fit, the kind of conversations that are hard to have in comment sections on social media. Here you can: - Discuss Bike Fit topics with other Cyclists, Triathletes and Bike Fitters - Share photos and videos of riding positions for community discussion - Get advice around specific comfort issues. - Learn how to observe, analyse, and talk about position more clearly - Ask questions and explore why certain setups work, or don’t This community is about understanding Bike Fit and supporting each other through shared discussion and experiences. If you’re dealing with aches, pain, or discomfort on the bike, you’re not alone. This space exists for like-minded riders to share experiences, compare notes, and learn from each other through discussion. We (Professional Bike Fitters at UK Bike Fit) will occasionally contribute to discussions, share concepts, and run structured Q&A sessions. Most of the free value here comes from thoughtful peer discussion and explaining your reasoning. If you ask good questions, describe what you’re seeing, and stay curious, you’ll get far more out of this space than the comments section of Social Media, and help others do the same.

Seeking Advice!
Hello everyone, I’m from Canada, 40 years old and fairly new to the world of road cycling. I started riding in May this year and have been thoroughly enjoying every bit of it! However, back in August, I made a few adjustments to my bike, including changing the saddle height and moving it slightly forward (I think). Since then, I’ve been experiencing pain on the outer side of my left knee. I usually ride 3–4 times a week. Initially, the pain would start after around 30–35 km, but over the past three weeks, it has progressively worsened and now begins after just 12–15 km. Once the pain starts, every pedal stroke becomes extremely difficult. The pain also persists for at least two days after a ride, making everyday activities such as climbing up and down stairs and putting weight on my left leg very difficult. I’ve had a professional bike fit, during which my position was adjusted slightly. The stem height was lowered a little, and I also changed my crank length from 172 mm to 165 mm. In addition, I’ve attended a few physiotherapy sessions, but unfortunately, we still haven’t been able to identify the underlying cause. Has anyone experienced something similar, particularly pain on the outer side of the knee that gets progressively worse during rides? I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences, what helped you identify the cause, and what ultimately resolved the issue. Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions! -Sany
