So...yesterday I picked up a new pair of cycling shoes. I found a closeout deal on a pair of Sidi Ergo 2's (men's) from my LBS. I had an extra pair of new cleats at home, so I brought them with and had my fitter set them up for me. Wore them on today's ride, and experienced an odd new pain in my left knee literally from the moment I rolled out of my driveway. I kept thinking (hoping) it was just some odd fluke and would eventually work its way out. But 60 painful miles later, it was still bothering me...even more so, since I had kept riding on it all morning. Going up hills were the worst...felt a really bad twinge with each pedal revolution. The pain is concentrated along the outside of the kneecap. Not really in front or in the back...but laterally. My feet felt fine in the new Sidi's...no foot pain whatsoever. But I have to wonder if it's the shoes causing the pain, because that is the ONLY thing that was changed. I'm going to try wearing my old Northwaves tomorrow, to see if I still get the knee pain. I've been icing it all day, and it feels fine now, but who knows how it will feel on the bike in the morning. Any other ideas???
