I have never had a pro fit, but I am going to have one this week. Until then, I'm wondering if anyone can offer any insight.

I'm currently nursing pain in both knees. It's not muscle pain, it's more in-between the leg bones and under the kneecap. I don't believe it's a tear - I think the pain would be more sudden an intense - it's more like inflammation. I have been to a doctor for it, and I've been told to just rest/ice/elevate it.

This is the second time it's happened. Both times were following rides where i did very long hard efforts in the drops. other than that, I can go out and turn myself inside out without pain.

Now, both of my bikes are set up pretty long and low. I'm very comfortable on them, but i suspect that the extreme angle caused by being in the drops + hard effort is putting hard wear on my knees.

Now, I'm obviously going to focus on this when i get fit, but i'd like to open it up:

could it be:
- Saddle Setback?
- Bar Height? (my back and arms are comfortable)
- Could it be that I'm sitting too far back when i'm in the drops?
- Could it be that my pedal stroke is bad (not enough pull) in the drops?
- Is this just a danger of doing 30+ minute pursuit efforts in the drops?
