So I have some tightness behind my knee.
Before TCR I had my saddle raised a little and a shim fitted under the cleat on the same side.
During TCR I had achilles pain and slightly remedied by lowering saddle change of position. Again on the same side.

My saddle is now slightly lower (few mm) than my fit prior to TCR.

Since lockdown volume has increased largely turbo based. More power focused. I suspect bringing me a little forward in my position on the saddle.

For reference I have two pairs of shoes available one without the shim.

Given current lockdown situation and I need to try remedy it myself with the help of internet bikefit obviously. I have some thoughts but would be good to hear others.

What's the difference between current height and fit height? I would raise my saddle to where it was at fitting time unless it's quite a big difference in which case I'd start with a 2-5mm raise and see how that went for a week first.

I'd probably also reduce load to allow the damage done to heal.

I thought behind knee was saddle too high or far back?
Probably about 3-4mm lower currently, as a kind of half way from where I was during TCR and fit.
So I could raise it by that 3-4mm?
