I strained my knee racing. I need a little input. I am 5'9" (average build) and have been racing
on 175 length cranks for the past year. I think I should shorten my crank length. Now besides
getting a professional bike fit or working with a coach and refining my position, is shortening my
crank length to 170 a logical option. Any coaches or opinionated bike guys have any opinions about
the effect of longer and shorter cranks on knees? The pain is on the top and front of my knee,
just behind the knee cap. I do NOT grind big gears though I do alot of hills. I spin lots, keeping
my cadence at 104rpm most of the time. I am doing knee abduction excersises and getting massage
for it. Well?
