Not sure where to start with adjustments. The cleats are currently all the way back, but I'm not sure if it's cleat position or maybe I need to adjust my boom length due to the new shoes. My leg extension feels pretty good, but maybe I need to move a small direction in one way or the other.
Thoughts?
IMO your first adjustment is to throw those damn clipless pedals ,and shoes, in the trash! Then install a pair of BMX pedals like these...........

Once the BMX pedals are installed your knees will stop hurting.
