knees and gear ratiios...

i ran a 48x17 all last season and starting getting some knee pain and soreness. im runinng mks platform pedals with no clips...

Im curious to know if i go up to 48x18 (70gi) if that will make a noticeable difference at all in knee strain

honestly i never had a problem with the 72gi setup i have right now.....not many hills here and im not running fixed....i have a freewheel on the back.

I have farted around with the seat height / fore/aft and all that but nothing doing. I figured going up on gear in the rear might help maybe?

ill pound out 24 - 35 miles in a ride....maybe it is just from over use?
