Cycling related. I suspect answer is nothing, but the heels on my Sidi road shoes are worn down and clearly a challenge to extricate fixing bolts. Apply shoe goo for a heel?? Comments appreciated but please don’t report me to the ASPCS.

. It's OK - funny enough I'm having issues where my right hip is consistently 'tight'. Probably from sitting/desk work and then the sitting position on the bike. I'm slowly easing back into riding, doing some 15mile-ish social rides; trying to get the fit on the Canyon finally dialed in instead of ignoring the issue(s). What'd you end up doing to your back? Or.. just time itself?

My spine and vertebrae are fine but the disc probably needs to go. Burning pain on both sides from my waist down. No riding since April 2021.
