Thanks missliz - that's very good advice. The problem is with the tracking on my kneecap but I've been to a sports pysio several times and I've got all sorts of inner thigh exersises etc to help build up the less developed muscles, and do these a couple of times a week. Apparently it's very common.

I also spend some time on the home trainer taking a close look at my pedaling actions but i haven't tried marking my knee caps. I'll certainly give this a try.

Cheers for the advice.

Goddess1222 - current favouite has to be Johan Museeuw from Quickstep team. I was watching Het Volk on Eurosport the other week and Museeuw won. As he was changing before the podium presentations he ripped of his jersey and I've never seen such a buffed cyclist .Makes a change from the normally skinny little guys!
