Does hippy have a fitter as he seems to need to put the call in .
Seperate to all this wouldnt you have all your set up sorted and any inherent problems addressed before you start ? Easy to say as a armchair ds of course with a wonky knee.
Hippy does have a fitter who I am sure is following his progress!
What happens is that a fit that is ok for 100km, 600km, even 1000km, might to start causing you problems after twice that distance. Basically your body changes when you ride 18+ hours a day for a few days. Some bits get looser, some stiffer, some damaged. Part of the race is how you deal with that and how you make the necessary adjustments to keep the show on the road.

My Condor Tempo only starts to feel "right" after 12+ hours in the saddle. On short trips it feels like I'm in some kind of a long stretched out hammock. (The initial fit was done with PBP in mind and I haven't moved anything since.)

Fyi my issues stem from NOT using my correct fit. Post must have slipped before marking. As for the Achilles I've been midfoot and pain free since, so presume it was my short socks (designed to avoid last year's tendon issue!!) That ribbed the tendon. Now I'm just balancing changes to cope.
