  1. I recently messed up my seat height and have been trying desperately to find that sweet spot again. After about 25-30 miles or so my hamstrings start to tighten up really badly working up into a sharp pain right under my glutes.

    Anyone battle this before? Is this from the saddle being too high? Or is this a fore/aft thing?

    Any experiences or info you can share would be wonderful!

    Thanks so much!

    Sounds like cramp.

    Have your bike re-fitted by an experienced professional (and get them to write down the measurements for your records) and remember to drink lots while you're out riding, esp. in hot weather.
