I had a fit on a 16yr old, does high mileage and is a really solid racer. He is having some knee issue and I really believe it is an overuse injury listening to how it happened. He is currently working with Dr. to help with issue but I am trying to get him in a better position on the bike. His dad is a Cat 1 and coach that works in cycling industry so they have a lot of knowledge and experience.
My questions and issues are how to help him on the bike. He has some body issues from strength and stability standpoint in hips, core and knees. He sits twisted to the left on the saddle and left shoulder rides much higher than right. At the top of his pedal stroke on left the knee kicks out, his right leg sits really close to frame but tracks pretty well. His seat height and KOS is in a solid spot. While he is working with chiro to get body is better position what suggestions do you have to support him on the bike? When I move his right hand back a little on bars his shoulder level out.
We adjusted his cleat, moved saddle a little, moved pedal out to support knee that is farthest from frame but I feel I am missing something. What do you do to help with twisted body? Any recommendations or suggestions would be great.
