Knee pain and pedal systems---Zeros, Quattros, Frogs, others?

[KSH]

Hi Ladies- thanks so much for posting on this. I've been having some knee pain lately in my "bad" knee (ACL & meniscus surgery 11 yrs ago). Haven't yet figured out what exactly is the culprit, but perhaps it's my SPDs. I haven't used them for long, but I recently took some longer rides than usual. I may just try a different pedal, and then see how the knee feels.

Also make sure that you are not mashing your pedals... keep your cadence high (90-100). Mashing on the pedals can cause knee pain too.

Thank you- I've been getting better at spinning- though DH made a recent observation that his cadence is still faster than mine.
