  • New shoes knee ache

    Ok, riding with new shoes. Previous ones caused no knee issues.

    On my right knee I have an ache on the inside of the knee, not the knee cap.
    Anyone know how I should adjust the pedal position to cure this.

    Thanks.

    Cleats forward.

    Too far forward sore arches too far back sore knees.

    It could be your miniscus needs a clean out? That’s where you can get pain.

    few ways to look at it…
    Cleat/shoe position is causing discomfort – solution move about and see (froward/back/left/right/angles) or maybe it’s tension.
    OR
    You have something not right and the cleats have highlighted this, if it’s something like a miniscul tear swapping positions won’t fix the damage.

    I think my LBS has a gadget for transferring cleat settings from one pair of shoes to a new pair.

    Meniscus, meniscal.
    Cleaning out your meniscus is not something you can just “do”. Neither is repair. It’s very much a last resort, there are half a dozen other things to look at first.

    Cleat position (as mentioned already) don’t just tweak randomly, check your previous shoes, or get someone to look at it. Could also be a change in stack height or the angle of the sole (specialised build in a 2 degree angle, a few other manufactures do similar, i prefer to shim my cleats where needed)
    Also there could be a difference in arch support. (Forgot the insoles in my shoes on a ride a couple of weeks ago, didn’t realise until i got to the start. That hurt.)

    Cheers all, copied cleat position from falling apart shoes. Sadly now gone to a better place (bugger!)

    I shall wait a day or so and continue tweaking.
