Finally got my road bike!!

I hope you get the knee issue worked out! I can't help there, but I want to say congrats on the new bike. As always we want pictures.

Take care of the knee, and maybe some of the ones who have been through the fit classes (knotted and wahine) will weigh in here. If not, pm them. Knotted has helped me a lot on many things!

Float may be what you need, but there's also seat height, cleat position, seat position and crankarm length (probably in that order). Have you got to some of the threads that discuss those? Did your LBS set your seat height and install the cleats onto your shoes, or did you do it yourself? What kind of pedals did you get?

+1 on posting in the Health thread and/or PMing one of the PTs if you want more specifics. Take care of that knee! Hope it feels better soon!

Everything was adjusted at my LBS and was very comfortable for the first 3 weeks of riding - this is the first time my knee has felt tweaked (after 70 miles with the clipless - Wellgo WPD-823's). The other knee feels fine - unfortunately the LBS i bought the bike from is VERY far away, so getting there to do any more fine tuning is probably not going to happen for a while - but I'm sure I'll get it figured out thanks so much!

Yup, you're right, you need more float. (or tweak the orientation of your left pedal)

If you can't get your current pedals adjusted to your knee's satisfaction, may I suggest you try a pair of Speedplay Frogs?

This is a really good book to have handy: Andy Pruitt's Complete Medical Guide for Cyclists. http://www.velogear.com/prodinfo.asp?number=VP+APMG
