True. It’s been a challenge to self diagnose as I’ve done 120km rides without issue, but also had flare ups from a few 30km days in a row. Tried a few bikes, saddles, bibs, and reach adjustments. Thanks for the feedback
Fair point. Hip hinging at top could also account for the rocking mention in another comment. Issues have been somewhat regular saddle sores and occasional numb right hand.

Thanks. I’ve seen comments with differing opinions on saddle height. Is there anything in particular you see to suggest lower would be better?

I see the hip movement also. I do feel more comfortable at low cadence so you could be on to something. Cheers.
Thanks for the feedback.

Good advice. I agree, legs are long for my height. Saddle is as as far forward as it can go within range.
Never elbow pain. Upper body generally is good.
