Lately my achilles has started getting inflammed - both ankles - during/after riding. In the past I've never had a problem. All miles were always on a tri bike, training and racing. Recently I moved my training over to a road bike. My achilles inflammation timing coincides with my move to road bike miles. I've been a Speedplay user for years. I switched to Looks CX6 just the other week hoping that would cure. I'm going to get back on the tri bike for a while to see if the problem persists as well. I will appreciate any opinions the forum may have to share.

thats really weird, i recently got a minor (gone now) achilles problem. My guess is that in the more upright position of the road bike your pedal stroke has changed, and places more strain on the achilles. I have two therapist size ice packs, and use them whenever things start getting inflammed. This seems to get rid of any problems quickly. Hope it doesnt last.
