So I've had my Brompton for about six weeks now (it's an old one, ten years oldish) and I've upgraded the seat, handlebars, suspension and the safety catch on the back wheel as all were annoying me.
I've now developed quite bad knee pain (on the outer of my left knee) after I cycle on it (especially if I do more than about 5 miles). I strongly suspect I am cycling with my toes pointed in to avoid heel strike on the rollers behind the pedals (they're quite protruding and I've caught them once or twice and worried I'll come a cropper soon).
Would switching to the EZ wheels help? Are they less protruding or are there other wheels to consider? Also, are there any replacement pedals which may help?
I should add that I've never had knee pain on my other bikes before and with the seatpost fully extended I am almost on my tip toes in the saddle.
