But CT is your man for mode of injury, and you can back track from there. Low bike seat sounds very unlikely to me - more likely to have issues with your Patellar tendon

Chromey Sep 2011 8:05pm, 14 Sep 2011 12,364 posts	0 Chromey Yes I have cleats. Don't get it at all when cycling, just running. Started off only on descending and now it's constant including today when I've done nothing.
