Cross posted from the training thread - any ideas?
So I'm riding a lot more recently. But have suffered from pain in my knees before (have had physio) and I think I'm on the road to recovery as long days in the saddle aren't hurting my knees at all, or if they do only a little.
But for the life of me I can't spin a high gear without my knees starting to hurt. Is this normal? I can happily spin in the front middle chain ring for ages at around 80-90rpm but if I change to the big ring I find I have to gear down so much I may as well be on the middle ring again.
Will this come with fitness again and is it just my knee getting used to this again?
