igg Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Sounds like you've dug deep into what makes your body tick. I'm not a medical person, so am not trying to diagnose at all; just sharing for info. I also pronate, am prone to ITB, patella tracking issues, my knees used to splay like I was communicating in semaphore. But I found that modifying my squat, heel raise etc gym routine in the following way has helped enormously. Recruit ones hip flexors by squeezing a small ball, or rolled-up towel between your knees when doing most gym exercises. Eg squats, heel raises, relevant core work where your knees are positioned close together. Now my knees track much more vertically, and the tendency to splay is much less when I'm tired consequently I get far less ITB, knee pain etc. But none of that will bring back the paint I rubbed off with my heel Hah, sounds like you know the pain (literally & figuratively). Previously I was on my arse after 30km due to ITB, I'm now up to about 50km after the setup changes, rehab exercises, and lots of self-inflicted pain courtesy of PVC core foam roller (daily routine). I'm probably just going to wrap the hell out of the chainstay with gorilla tape for now. It's mostly invisible on the black frame.

I am also keen on this frame, but if it is a real issue, it would worry meCan't say how it would work for you, but maybe it will teach me to concentrate on my pedal stroke a bit more. I wonder if the frame designer had small feet. You could fit a 200mm disc there with spans of clearance, though I'm not sure why you would ever want to.
Ryanpmb Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 This is the amount of float I have:20151023_154449.jpg Are you running a spacer between the BB cup and the frame? It's a 68mm shell, requiring 1x 2.5mm spacer on the non drive side.

Ryanpmb Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Would the spacer come with the crankset, or is it sold seperately? Should get three 2.5mm spacers with a crankset. 68mm shells usually take 2 on the drive side and 1 non drive side. A 73mm shell needs 1 on the drive side. Not much but, when you're talking 5-10mm clearance it's a 25-50% increase.
igg Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 I received no spacers with the crank, are you sure this is supposed to be run with a spacer? The non-drive side crank lines up flush with the axle splines, if I put a spacer in there, this would no longer be true and would be recessed.

It initially looked like a Shimano cup but on second look it looks like a GXP... Shimano will need a spacer. GXP not.

Ryanpmb Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 GXP; sram rival crank.Struggling to find any documentation, but it seems a spacer is optional on a 68mm shell.As above. GXP doesn't require it.
