Hey KSH, thanks. Wow, you were fast yesterday! Yay!

Well, I have ITB and chondromalacia problems from running myself into the ground years and years ago. Usually has not be a problem on the bike.

A couple weeks ago, I got new pedals and shoes. Didn't ride hard with them, but enough. I think it is the built in varus (varus? vargus? I get them confused) wedge with the new Specialized BG shoes.

I've adjusted the pedals, etc. I am now awaiting the order of some inside-the-shoe shims and the Lemond wedgee thingies to shim the cleats.

I am hoping that is going to take care of it. Don't want to sell my brand new pedals and shoes already! I love everything else about them.

But, it was enough irritation to flare up the old knee problems. I am back to old pedals and shoes in the mean time, and icing tons.

Thanks for asking...I am really, really hoping this doesn't turn into something chronic this season.
