So a month ago i started having knee pains, with pain moving around the knees, going up and down in intensity at weird times, after being static behind the desk. It felt a bit like an inflamation that i had before, expect it wouldn't go away at all.
It started at the end of a london to paris in march without much training beforehand. So i thought that was the cause, it had put too much stress on them in one go, so felt pretty guilty about it as well.
I was using shimano xt spds, on commute bike and road bike. I randomly tried to change them for some classic look pedals and the pain went away in a day ! wtf. They must have been too worn, too loose or something. but hey, worth trying everything. even what doesn't make obvious sense, as it turns out i needed less float.
