Anyone on here find recent CAAD top tubes far too wide?
I've been riding a CAAD8 (from factory Sora-equipped bike, w/BSA threaded BB, @colin2011 ) for a few months, but think I'm going to have to get rid of it because it hurts!
Order of thoughts/injuries/adjustments:
CAAD8; first road biek, after riding track etc etc...
Developed knee pain on short rides >50km
Figured something to do with Q-factor
Moved cleats inboard to compensate for wider Q of (DA7800) road c'set.
Adjustment caused knees to hit/thighs to rub TT when pedalling, particularly when out of saddle.
Subconsciously began to modify shape of leg to avoid this while pedalling, particularly when out of saddle.
Developed hip pain of rides around 50km as a result...
Anybody else experienced this/found a resolution?
I stripped the parts and put them on an old Raleigh 531C frame (skinny top tube) and it feels (heavy, but) sublime by comparison, so If anyone wants a (raw) 'dale frameset, let me know.
