A back of the knee issue is generally a saddle too high and/or too far back. My knee issue was front of knee and I got relief by going to about 15-20 degrees and going back a little. The info is on the web.

I might add that I only cured about 85 to 90% of the problem with saddle adjustment. It appears I was also suffering a muscle imbalance as well. Adding leg lifts to my exercises to strengthen the quads which don't get exercised enough compared to the hamstrings seems to have gotten me to 100%
