Hi all,
I am at a bit of a loss here.
I got a nice new carbon Giant defy a few months ago to replace my old giant defy, which was about 7 years old. I started to get hip pain riding my new bike despite a bike fit at the bike shop after purchase. Originally I put this down to over use as I put in a fair few more miles in over a couple weeks as I had a new toy (this was in August).
I have been using my old road bike on the turbo over the last few weeks to no ill effect so thought it would be nice to put my fancy bike on that and use the old bike for riding outside on the now wet and muddy roads. However, even after one ride on the new bike (having put my old bikes saddle on it) the hip pain has come back.
I have messed around with saddle height and raised my bars but it’s still bad.
Any ideas what could be causing it? It feels as if my hip joint is becoming inflamed – I have ridden bike for years and am fortunate to have a few different bikes and non have ever caused me hip pain before.
Thanks!!
