WarriorMike, adjust your pedals back a notch or two. Your leg shouldn't be that straight. It's MUCH more comfortable to have a bit of bend left, even at full stroke. Speaking of which, if you don't go quite full stroke, you'll avoid hull slap with the fine AND also avoid breaking the pedal shafts - without losing any power at all. I try for about 90% travel.
