    I agree with the gearing advice, do the knee a favor and use the gears if you can.

    Popping right knee (also!)

    My right knee has an interesting series of pops it used to go through when I'd ride, pop pop pop POP and then it would be done for a while - like popping a knuckle. It was annoying because I'd have to get it to POP or it was distracting. It sounds very similar and I would agree it has to do with seat height, at the right height my knee does NOT pop. It's a very subtle difference, as well, maybe two millimeters!

    +1 to this.

    Symptoms of my left knee right before it began to hurt a lot and I entered into PT for 2 months.

    There are tons of good IT band stretches, I highly recommend them
