I get front of knee pain now and again and my saddle height is spot on - the issue is always always muscle tightness induced by riding without ample stretching and warming down. If I stretch enough - whether on the bike or off of it - the pain goes away.
The reason I mention this? I was constantly messing with saddle height to get things just right, then realised that the issue was something else entirely.
Steve Hogg has a good guide to setting saddle height/set back etc on his site. Apols if it's a repost!
