After Up the 'uts the back of my left knee started to feel sore. (bit hillier than I'm used to, plus I was working hard to keep up with whippet boy Erron all day!) I've been riding mostly fixed for much of the last year and I can only put it down to this as I've never had any persistent problems like this before. Sure I've had injuries playing various sports over the years, but said injuries would always go away after a week or so.
I'm 36 now, so I guess I can expect to get more niggles but this just won't go away. It kinda gets a bit better and then just comes back again. And to make it worse - after a weekend of quite a few miles, the back of my right knee is a bit sore too!
Of course, if it gets worse or continues, I'll go to the docs, but I thought I'd ask here as someone is bound to have experienced a similar thing.
I've thought about set up and gearing - the odd thing is that when I'm grinding uphill there's no pain. It's only when I'm spinning like crazy downhill that I can feel it.
FTR I ride 48x17 on 165 cranks. I have the saddle slightly lower than my other bikes for purposes of spinning.
Is there anything I can do? Is it just going to get worse or do I just grin and bear it?
Ta,
Rob.
