Yesterday i did a long ride of 63.8 miles. As soon as i got back home i stretched my legs, which is a usual practice after a ride. After i got up from sitting on the couch, i had some minor knee pain. On my left leg, the pain was on the back of my knee. On my right leg, the pain was on the front of the knee and seemed like right behind the knee cap. I could especially feel them going up and down stairs. Today, my right knee still feels pretty much the same but the pain has mainly shifted in the left knee. It went from the back to the front. It's a slight pain, but i can still tell it's there.
During the ride, i always kept my cadence at least between 80-95rpms. The only time it would drop below 80 (almost never) is when i was climbing a steep hill. I would always drop to my lowest gear (16.7 gear inches) to try to maintain a cadence above 80 during the steep climbs. From a complete stop, i always used my right leg to start off. I made sure to drop to 4th gear out of 24 before coming to a stop. I also tried to be as soft on the pedals as i could.
Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
This pics are to show the distance from the pedals and the bends in my knees. If anyone thinks i need to move my seat position, please let me know.
