I'm getting bit of knee pain recently. I think (hope) it's down to the colder weather but could be coincidental I guess or colder weather showing up an underlying problem?
Never seem to feel it on the commute (4 ½ mile each way on a variety of bikes using Atacs and flats) but havn't had any very cold commutes yet this year.
Have felt it when riding ss mtb with Atacs (actually this wasn't in cold weather), felt it a couple weeks ago riding my Surly (geared/Atacs) in one pair of shoes and again today on that bike but in a different pair of shoes. I haven't taken any steps to ensure cleat setup is the same between shoes other than bolting them on and checking they feel comfy. I presumed increased float in the Atacs would accommodate any errors in clear position.
Didn't feel it yesterday riding a different bike with flat pedals.
Seems to be around 6-10 miles into a ride I'll feel it.
Today it came on while I was riding along a flat canal path and with no change to terrain etc I found it had disappeared a little while later. It came and went but notably wasn't present while grinding up an off-road climb a bit later, air temp was pretty similar but could there have been more warmth in the joint by this point? Came back with a vengeance after a fast very cold descent where I'd been mainly coasting so the knee hadn't been moving.
Once home and warmed up there was no residual pain or anything.Bit of pain if I kneel or go on hands and knees just now actually.
