....i did my longest ride so far in my new clipless pedals last night and after about 8 miles my knees started to feel pain....mainly in the top of my knee/knee cap.
.....about 8 miles later i arrived at my destination and it was a good job as the pain was becoming very uncomfortable...anyway....does anyone know what this could mainly be down to?.....i've dangled my feet when in my saddle and they turn outwards a fair bit so I've moved the cleats to the furthest point on the shoe towards my toes and angled the cleats outwards slightly....i hoping this will help but my knees need a good rest for a couple days....odd thing was I got back on my bike this morning and my knees didn't hurt very much, intact my usual 4.5 mile cycle each way everyday hasn't caused me any problems at all....its just that longer ride last night gave my knees a battering!....any advice would be really appreciated....i will persevere with them but i fear i may be fighting a losing battle!!!!
