I've been suffering from a sore left knee this week whilst riding. It's on the right-handside, just above the knee cap and gives me pain when I bend it.
No change in set-up at all but when I was riding home today it did occur to me that my cleats (SPDs) were significantly stiffer to twist out of and am wondering if this caused it.
Will oil them and slacken them a bit and see if that helps but just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem.
Also curious whether the cleats could be on their way out. I've probably done about 2,000 miles with them and about 1,000 with these pedals (Shimano M424) and I was fairly sure that they were fine for plenty more than that and you'd be slipping out when they were worn.
Cheers
