I swapped out my Look pedals for Simano SPDs on my audax bike yesterday. Just for a change really, to see how I got on (again) with SPDs.
Anyways, after around 80km I could feel muscle pain just above the knee when climbing. I was a tad confounded. As I thought about possible causes, I thought about cleats in my changed footwear; recessed SPD cleats v the external and proud Look Delta cleat of before. So, as I pedalled, I looked at my leg... fully locked out with pedals at 6 o'clock! Ah ha, eureka! Only a couple of millimetres difference perhaps but enough.
So remember people, little things make a difference.... as I keep telling my wife!
