Hello all you smart people. I'm having a bike fit issue that is really vexing me. I had a good fit that I was happy with, but then I swapped ISM saddles (from standard to narrow). This has caused me to need to make a bunch of little tweaks before/after/during rides, with the general trend being that the saddle is now lower and more forward than at the start. I was getting some knee/hip pain (always only on my right side). That seems to be gone, and all I'm left with now is tightness in my calf (again, only right side). It feels as if it's locked up and not letting my foot/ankle move in the proper way. Running off the bike feels a little funky as well.
Today was my first outdoor ride, and being outdoors seemed to make the issue worse. Also, today I was feeling some soreness in my quads, a feeling that I would usually associate with having the saddle too low.
If any of you smart bike fitters would be willing to glance at this video and offer comments, I would be very much obliged.
edit: for some reason the lighting gets a little better about 20 seconds in. Not sure how that happened.
Thanks,
-Colin

Any run that doesn't include pooping in someone's front yard is a win.
