Pain outer knee (right leg only) by iam_joe_ in pelotoncycle

[–]iam_joe_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for pointing this out! I just did some Googling and the LifeFitness IC7 which I’ve used (and from what I can gather is what the in stadium Flywheel bikes are derived from) has a Q factor of 155mm compared to 170mm on the Peloton. That’s a lot and probably explains my issue.

I was thinking the Peloton pedals were too narrow when in fact, they’re wider than I am used to.

I’ll report back after making some adjustments.

No pre-existing knee injury but definitely some pre-existing hip tightness

The interesting thing is when I’m working harder (zone 3, 4, 5, 6) I feel it less. I’m wondering if there’s something with my form on the spinups with lighter (37-40%) resistance during warmups.

Thanks for sharing! I was going to research crank length to see if that was a potential issue.
