Hi All
Wanting some bike fit advice - I suspect I have found the root cause - just want some more eyes on the problem - in the event that I am wrong and need to visit a fitter.
Some background...
I fitted some new cleats very recently and stupidly over - torqued one bolt and managed to snap the cleat! This, I suspect is due to the wedge that I also have in place. I then (possibly stupidly again!) - loosened it a bit, then retightened it again.
Completed a long ride the next day and experienced no issues.
Did an event last week and at the end, was experiencing some pain just behind my knee - on the outside of my leg (almost like a ligament - not muscular) - this definitely out of the norm for me.
Pain subsided by Sunday and was able to do a recovery spin on trainer without issue (with other shoes) on different bike
I only use these shoes and bike when riding outside - no issues with other shoes on trainer (different bike - but I haven't changed anything on either bike in any event)
I used the shoes again yesterday for the first time since last weekend and noted the same discomfort after about 5kms into the ride - I pushed through the discomfort until it became too painful to continue and had to bail on the ride.
My question after all this is - do you reckon the drop in the cleat (where it cracked) is behind the issue? My thoughts are to replace and do a test ride to confirm - if this does not sort the issue - I will need to visit a fitment specialist to understand if something else is perhaps amiss.
