Got pulled off the bike by my doc for a flair of quad tendonosis that hit at the end of the season. I've done the stretch and roller thing for this before with good results but it killed my offseason last year and is doing same this year. I've never been a masher on the bike and usually spin around 90 rpm. No power numbers, that will be next investment.
I'm thinking that shorter cranks might help..... Should have me pushing with a less acute knee angle at the top. I'm on 172.5mm now and thinking 165mm. I know the crank length thing has been done on here before but wondered if anybody had used for quad tendonopathy specifically? I have a brand new Shiv that is currently an expensive wall hanging so thoughts appreciated :)
