It took you three years. You are making assertions about your pedal stroke (which can be measured), and your knee pain is "practically gone". If it feels like you are riding better, that's fine. But you can really find out if that's the case.
We had a guy in the other day who said many of the same things. When we put the bike on the computer and he rode it, it was more like 40%...the stroke looked like a figure 8. But it felt good....until we fixed it. One of those "ah hah" moments.
Not everyone wants to take three years to get a setup with which they are reasonably comfortable.
