• I’m finally trying to get on top of a supinated right foot issue caused by ignoring a recurring ingrown toenail for far too long (stupid I know). It’s fine on bikes with wider Q factor as it allows me to toe out enough without hitting the frame/crank, but it has recently flared up in some medial knee pain on a new bike with the narrowest Q factor I’ve yet ridden and I’m now taking a break off riding for a few days.

    I’m going to the gp soon to see what they can offer as it’s also mildly niggling day to day issue that has definitely overstretched some muscles and tightened others. I’ve been ignoring for far too long. Hopefully can getting into some proper physio to try and figure out how to walk and pedal normally again. Would Velophysio be the best place to try help along this journey? Both for a bike fit and for physio for this kinda thing?

  • Hey, can't be of much help with recommending a fit/physio but I do have a pair of Ultegra +4mm spd-sl pedals if you would like to try and see if they work for you? If they help I'm happy for you to keep them. Putting the Q factor out a few millimeters has helped me in the past with some knee pain (although has been more of a bandage than a cure). Even just to get back riding once you have recovered.
    Shoot me a pm if you are interested, otherwise, I hope you're back riding soon and you get it figured out!
