I did see a doc when I was a teenager. I'd gone out for the volleyball team and had a LOT of issues from the jumping. My doc said that I could have surgery to shorten the ligaments, or "it would just go away as I got older and less active". Shows what he knew He did put me into PT, but again I was 16 and now I'm 31, and that was in MI and now I'm in MN. I'm a yogi, where open knees are a virtue - I have no issues sitting in lotus or sitting in hero with my sit bones all the way onto the floor between my heels (and b/c ALL my ligaments and tendons are loose, I pretty much need to be there and lying back before I can feel a stretch in my quads). Yoga has strengthened all the muscles around my knees, but I'm still a bit nervous about what will happen with pedals.

I have no issues with my toe cages. The left one is completely snug on my shoe - I have to wedge my foot in. The right one is a little bit looser as that's the foot I drop when I need to stop. Would 6 degrees of float feel similar to this, or do cages permit a lot more movement than I think?
