Hi all, I had a bike fit and I was feeling good for few weeks, but recently my right foot still doesn’t feel quite right when pedalling as though the cleat isn’t positioned correctly. I keep trying to adjust the foot to point outside while riding as otherwise I feel a sharp pain in my knee. I also find myself sitting more towards the right side of the saddle, as this feels more comfortable than sitting centrally. My latest ride shows a left/right power balance of 53%/47%, although I’m not sure whether this is related. Has anyone experienced something similar? What would you suggest to check or change? Thanks.

...how do I navigate the overwhelming entry phase as someone who is about to change careers? I felt the need to write a bit more here because there's just so much going on in my head, so it may take a few minutes. Bikefitting is one of the most delicate and difficult unoffical crafts imho. On one side it's fairly easy to call yourself a bikefitter. On the other hand, you're responsible for other people's health and fun on the bike. You need to know both bike mechanics as well as human anatomy/biomechanics and have a VERY good eye for it. Here in Germany it's super hard to get into the craft the right way (learning directly from a proven expert who actually knows about the human body), because little to no bikefitters want to train newbies. The amount of lone wolves is huge because everyone kinda fears competition. I'm exploring the scene here for around a year now and it seems there are two sorts of fitters: those who fully rely on their eye of the human body and adjust bikes from there with a lot of gut feeling and those who are super into measurements and data. One side says 'the less someone knows about the craft the more data he has', the other side says 'without data it's all just guesswork'. Now, I would get the chance to start out working and learning as a bikefitter in a local bike shop. They primarily use Smartfit for bike sizing and some old-school-ish saddle pressure system. I'm still on the fence whether or not I should start there. In my mind I feel like I need to learn from someone who is far more advanced. On the other side, I need to actually start DOING it, because I'm looking for opportunities for a whole year now. Also, starting out very small and low-level could be a great opportunity to grow and evolve, bring new tools and knowledge into the studio etc. Problem is, and this overwhelms me a lot, that by starting out with real people, there is so incredibly much knowledge and experience that I'm still missing that it just feels WRONG on so many levels to even take on clients. They pay good money and expect a certain service. I have huge respect to the craft and don't want to harm anyone by overlooking important biomechanical aspects. I don't want to become one of those fitters who claim they are highly experienced but in reality do a shitty job. However, not starting means getting stuck in theory forever, and starting out means probably making horrible mistakes.
