I posted a thread about knee pain a while back. Thank you to everyone who responded. I made a couple of adjustments and I am doing better.

I think one of my issues is making the transition from my cyclocross bike, with 18 speeds, to this 3 speed bike...

With the cyclo cross, I had enough greas that I coul dpretty much spin a high cadence in any terrain. With only 3 speeds, I consistenty feel i am in the "wrong" gear and like I am mashing a lot. Combine that with the bike being way heavier, and there is the challenge. Anyone have any tips for making the transition from many gears and a spinning riding style to a 3 speed?
