New saddle...and knee pain?

+1 to what BleeckerSt_Girl said. If the new saddle is not the same height rail-to-surface as your old saddle, or if it is squishier such that you sink down into it more, you'll need to adjust the seatpost height to compensate. Though, I assume you'd notice the height problems more with a road bike; on mtn bikes people (or at least me) tend to adjust the height frequently based on the terrain.

So I was interested in this post because I just got my knew bike and noticed that I have slight pain (more like discomfort) on the inside part of the knee about an inch above the kneecap. Any ideas?

I just got my new saddle put on and the guy LOWERED it about 5 cm( wow!)than I had it.
No more pain in bits but my knees hurt too! Raising it helps some, I was advised by a friend who knows saddles.
Im raising minea bout two CM.

The height adjustment of saddle is very important and it varies from one to other. I got the same problem after changing my saddle then my trainer advised me to modify the height of the saddle to fit my leg movement.
And it worked.
