Pain in the A$$

Okay...any thoughts on Gluteal strain(s) from switching to road bike from Tri Bike?....

Recently have developed what seems to be sore/strained Glute Medius/Minimus issues impact my run...at first I thought it was artifact from changing my stride due to some achilles tenderness....but now I'm thinking that maybe the changed position from Aero Tri to upright roadie could have caused this or be contributing to this.. (My tri bike went to the shop for two weeks so I've been hammering on my new road bike...key word is New...I never road any bike other than my Tri bike over the past 2 years..)

  • Joseph,

        Your pain could also represent a hamstring tendonopathy near it's origin in the pelvis if your road saddle is higher than your tri bike.

    You might try lowering your road bike saddle a bit and see if that helps. Just a thought. good luck.
