Thanks guys. All good things to consider. No equipment changes over the past year, and haven't run in about a year either. I'm done with running, it has ceased to be good to me. Shoes, cleats, saddle, etc.. all in good condition, no changes in clothing either. All season so far I have been scooching back on the saddle, almost as far as to get a real skid mark! That is the reason for my intuition about a saddle adjustment, plus past experience.
Last evening I moved the saddle rearward 1.5cm. I was immediately rewarded with what seemed like brand new legs. I put a lot of pain into my riding buddies' last night, and everything started to feel natural again. I'm sure you know that feeling when everything just works? I haven't had that this year till yesterday.
I think I'll keep that position for a few weeks to see if it indeed is an improvement or just a quirk, then probably move it back a bit again in search of an optimal position.
I've been through a bunch of custom fitters, including the very well respected guy who measured me for my Tetra Custom. The one thing that riders always comment on is that they think I ride too far forward. I guess we'll see. I didn't choose rec.bicycles.racing for my question, nor a tri forum because I know you guys are very particular about these things.
BTW, 2006 is my next bike purchase. The plan at present is for a custom D'Fly. I'm already excited! Thanks again.
