the spd experience was on his hybrid which I borrowed for some hill climbing training. Of couse it's got three rings in the front - I think I need that or, on his recommendation, a "compact" two-ring system. Hope yall know what I'm talking about. I think part of my knee pain comes from having to use the gears I have on climbs, which are just not small enough. (I think it is 39/27 max.)
Hey alpinerabbit - Im no doctor but if you are having knee pain you want to be as gentle as possible with your knees. This means no pushing big gears. Not sure about the clipping out problem but Its probably not doing your knees any favours. Lighten off the tension a little on your Looks and spin some easier gears going uphill and your knees will be happier.
