Again, I didnt read the whole thread and apols if ABP but:
Try a lower gear ratio if you ride fixed. I went from 48:16 to 46:18 and all my knee issues disappeared.
Obviously this aint the solution for everyone as we're all different builds and sizes but it worked for me on both my rides, ones with a front brake and a heavier frame, and ones brakeless with a nice lightweight steel frame (the yellow lo pro in my avatar). On brakeless fixies a lower ratio for me is essential to preserve knee longevity.
