Trying to get some thoughts on relieveing the above. Here are as many
detials as I have. I would appreciate any anticdotes and thoughts on having
a more pleasurable riding experience
Hot Spots
========
Balls of feet fee like they burn after about 15-20 min into ride. Especially
when hammering up hills. Toes go numb some times. Shoes are SIDI (3 velcro
straps, no ratchet), with no special in-soles or anything. I use older
speedplay pedals.
Fix? I ahve thought about using Specialized BG Carbon shoes to help with the
Hot-Spots. Also heard maybe getting a 1/2 size larger shoe. Also heard any
over the counter shoe insert may be helpful in my current shoe. Something
about cleat position, but it seems so hard to get right.
Top Knee Pain
==========
Upper knee pain, nothing super killer, but it does bother me, especially
while climbing (in saddle). Also can happen when I am spinning alot.
Fix? I raised my seat. Trying to keep my knees straight. I hears that the BG
shoes and cleat position may help keep knees straight up and down.
Neck Pain
=======
Not sure of it is my Trap or Rhomboid. Gets real tight and burns.
Fix? Just not sure what works for this. I have tried stretching, but nothing
seems to be working
