Thanks everyone for the input. I was in the bike shop today to get new tires and they were out of the 25c. My tires can not wait 2 days so I stuck with the 23c. Went with a single tire for now while I look into the options around some of the tires that were recommend here. I will most likely replace the set (I have to…

Did the PT check your seat angle when he/she did the fit, I have seen it get overlooked before? Sometimes if you have issues it could be the seat angle is off putting too much preasure in one area.

I have been riding for 2 years, but only a few months seriously.

I am using the body bugg. I have used it before for about 6 months then it went in my drawer, now it is back on my arm. It is amazing and reports directly to my phone what I have burned. They are a little $$ upfront. However, I love the report each day. It is great encouragment to push a little more at the end of each day,…
