ok so i got shoes for spin class. they are SPD's. i have Look's on the road bike so i am not used to spd. my right cleat is lined up properly, and i took hangrrl's advice and checked my fore-aft position. i have no problems on the road bike at all, but on the spin bike, now my knees bother me. especially my left medial. they don't get sore, they just feel weird, and after class, they feel heavy.

i didn't have any problems with knees on the spin bike until i got the spd shoes. i was going with the foot cages before. since i have Look's on the road bike and foot cages for spin, these both have tons of float which i love. maybe i am too "locked in" for my knees to be comfortable on an spd pedal.

ok i know this is a somewhat disjointed post, but i am so frustrated i can't tell you. i am ready to chuck the shoes out the window and stay with foot cages forever. my local bike shop is not an option because i don't trust them to do a good job.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaah! could you all please send a request out to the universe that a little shoe fairy comes my way to take care of my problem?

i have read everyone's advice and am taking it all in. but i just wish i KNEW exactly what was causing it. i feel quite helpless right now. (no i am not a control freak, not me ) heee heee.

ok, i need a little encouragement here.

and yes i did start another thread about this very thing, but i am still having problems.

thanks gals
