a little bit of knee pain

[judder]

Hey any ideas,
I get a bit of a sore knee, left knee only at the front just below the knee cap..

What should I try first, cleat for back forward, seat up or down, back n forward..

Or would it be easier just to get a professional bike fit and if so any near Manchester..
Cheers for any advice..

Place some worm water near the swollen area everyday this will definitely give you some relief.

Pain at either side would suggest your cleats need adjusting.

At the front it is likely to be from over-exertion, ie you're cycling in too high a gear. Try lower gears to up your cadence.

Either way a proper bike fit can only be a good thing, even if it only confirms that every thing is in order.

You have to be up early to collect "worm water" and the damp early morning air will not do you knee any good at all.

Pain in the front of the knee (anterior) may also be due to the saddle being too low, too far forwards, or even using too long cranks.
