I've got a pair of spd/flat combination pedals for commuting. They're pretty good. However, seems my saddle position doesn't work equally well on both. With the flats and ordinary shoes, I prefer a lower and more forward saddle (only by around 5mm in both directions). Slight pain not to be able to just jump on and ride in either mode.

Any one else had this issue? Slightly surprised I would have thought it would be the other way around and the SPDs/ cycling shoes would have a lower stack height.

These are the ones:

What kind of knee pain? What pedals and shoes? Do you position your feet into a similar location to the pedal spindle on flats vs. clipless or is the pedal forcing your foot somewhere different?

Could it be that your position to begin with was wrong.
