I recently got a new bike and had a full fitting on it, they did raise the seat a little higher then normal because of my flexibility. The bike is built for crit racing and so the bars are slammed a bit, but that shouldnt be an issue with my legs I wouldnt think. I do have a new saddle on the bike, so possibly that is the issue as well.

My question is, with having this groin pain, it is like my muscles are pulled or the feeling you get when you are over stretching, what adjustment should I make? I have read that I should tilt my seat forward a little bit, or lower it a milimeter, or to just swap back to my old saddle.

Looking for a little bit of direction here. I am reaching back out to LBS fitter on this as well, just dont want it to grow into a major issue. I have ridden 5 times since the fitting for a total of 200 miles and still having the issue, so not sure if it is going to eventually go away or if it is time to make an adjustment (I have 2 races this weekend, so wanting to be as comfortable and putting out as much power as possible).

Thanks in advance!

I've had a similar issue and it was due to the need for the saddle to be very narrow just in front of the sit bones. I've actually clamped the saddle so that is is narrower at that point and then played a heat-*** over it to slightly soften the plastic. When it all cools down the narrowness will stay.

Mark your seat post and saddle rails with a sharpie and adjust them yourself. If it's worse put things back to where they were.
