My knees are killing me...

You might just need to give your knees a rest and just let them heal a bit.

Once you've irritated your knees, it's not going to take much to keep them irritated.

I agree! I intend to just do some leisurely riding or some spins on the trainer for a while. I figure I can spend the winter doing this and then slowly build back up the power and speed in the spring if all goes well.

Thanks for your thoughts!

I'm 5'7" with about 31.5" inseam. My bike came with 175mm crankarms for some unknown reason. Once they changed them to 172.5mm, it was heavenly. I really noticed those millimeters! That said, with your stats, I wouldn't go shorter than 170mm. Eventually, you're going to start losing noticeable torque.

Ok thanks! If I decide to spend the money I will try the 170mm. I def dont want to loose too much torque!!

I appreciate your advice!
