Hmmm. I think my diagonal Restraps might be doing me in.
I stuck them on my new single speed TriCross when i bought it a month or two ago. I've been commuting and doing some light countryside riding on that bike. But since I bought the TriCross I've noticed pain in my knees following long rides on my regular road bike. Did 63 miles yesterday and struggled to stand up out of bed this morning. Bummer!
The pain is located very specifically at the following points: Looking at my knee caps as clock faces front on, the left one as you look at it (my right) hurts at 1 - 2 o clock and the right as you look at it hurts at 10 - 11 o clock. So the upper inside of the knee caps.
That seems to be the point which feels the strain if I turn my foot inwards slightly and apply downward pressure - the exact action of moving off while inserting my feet into the diagonal Restraps.
What are your thoughts forum? Have I located the source of the problem? The only other thing I can think of is that the cold might be having an effect...
