Hi, all! Here's my dilemma:

When I started cycling, I was slightly worried about my knees because of an injury from childhood. They held up wonderfully, though, even after I went clipless.

And then,

One day, on a very flat route, I had to adjust my shoes. They seemed to be too loose, so I strapped them extra-tight.

Silly, silly me.

After riding for about 10 miles in that way, I could really feel the strain on my knees. On every ride since I've had some knee pain, especially going up hills or starting again if I've forgotten to shift down.

Should I try adjusting my cleats? The pain is on top of the knee and feels like I have to "crack" the joint but can't because I'm clipped in.
