I'm riding a 2008 Giant Trinity A1 with a Aero1 saddle if that helps anything.

I really haven't had any issues with fit after my last thorough fit about a year ago. However, I've been ramping up my bike time/training to make some gains leading into the HIM season and have been having some issues with fit and discomfort, so I thought I'd get opinions and thoughts, if I can.

And yes, I've scheduled another fine tuning this afternoon at the bike shop.

After my 1.5 mark on the trainer (in aero position), I've been getting some tingling in the toes on both feet, and when at low cadence/high power work, I've been getting some soreness in the front of the right knee.

Anyone have any thoughts so I could possibly be a little more prepared when I walk in this afternoon?

Thanks.

Not sure about the knee but slide your cleats back on your shoes and make sure your not mashing the pedals and pedaling with circular power vs very downstroke focused power.

I find that my position on the trainer tends to be slightly different than on the road. My uneducated guess is I'm way more stationary in my position on the trainer versus constantly shifting around on the road. My knees get sore on trainer rides > 1.5 hours.

I now find that after sitting for long periods of time during the day for two hours or so my knees are very stiff and weak when I then try to move them. Do I need to take better care of my knees?

On the long bike rides of 80+ miles I get very strong pain in my toes. I slow down my pace and I might recover, but when I hit the next hill it is back. Could this be some kind of circulation issue?
