Hi folks,
I've had a few knee problems (MCL, ACL and ITB) in the past. I've just recently bought a Subzero road bike and the first time I took it out for a ride (25km), I aggravated those existing injuries and it's still dodgy a week later. Dodgy enough that I don't want to ride the bike again this weekend, which is a shame as the weather is going to be perfect.
I know that the seat is at the right height and didstance from the handlebars. Are there other things I should know about bike fit that would help me solve this problem? I'm probably going to replace the pedals with clips sometime in the next month, in the belief that they will stop any sliding the foot may be doing on the peddle.
I've been doing a short commute on a Sedona since the start of the year with very few issues, so I don't think the problem is a total lack of conditioning in the knee.
Any advice folk have would be great.
Thanks,
Kirsten.
