Worried about Knees

[wildrover]

I get sore knees like that when my seat is too far forward, but it doesn't happen suddenly. Hope you find the problem.

Thanks all for your kind suggestions. You may be right about the seat. I think I'll take the bike back to the LBS and have them recheck everything (I never did mark the original placement so bad on me). I do have clips so maybe an adjustment needs to be made there too.
Ok, will call the Ortho today and start from there.

Most fitters will mark your bike in case that anything anything moves you can see it.

I'll take a look and see if I see anything. Good suggestion.....

I've had several fittings with different fitters. None have marked my bike. They do, however, write down all the measurements. One emailed me with all the details; the other I can call.

This is my experience as well.

it also could be something as simple as needing to strengthen your quads and working on your pedal stroke. A simple isometric quad exercise - stand with your feet shoulder length apart, lift one foot of the ground, bending the knee 90 degrees. keep other foot flat on the ground, do gentle knee bends - not deep for 3 minutes, switch legs and repeat.

for balance touch the wall with 1 finger - do not lean on the wall just use it for balance. It took me awhile to work up to 3 minutes per leg but it really helped my knees - this is an exercise I got from a PT and an ortho is not going to give you much advice and is just going to cost money.
