It only really starts getting tetchy when I do 15-20 miles in a day. I've been out training just about everyday on a 10 miler for the last three weeks without a single pain--I attribute it to stretching after my ride.
I should probably try different gear ratios--it may be the lower teeth and spinning that's causing my problem..
Do you ride clips or clipless? If clipless, have you had your cleat fitted or adjusted to best match your knee movements? Also, I've had knee pains on the outside, lower side of my knee if my saddle is adjusted just 1/2 cm too high.
