Having knee pain threads brought up can only be helpful to all here. Thank you. Biking is my activity of greatest enjoyment because so much can be accomplished while minimizing knee issues while being free of anatomical correcting gear. Definitely a bother having to wear compression sleeves and Cho-Pat double knee straps during my marathons and all distances shorter.

During last year's Tour, there was a shot of Cavendish along side the team car shoeless on one foot. IIRC, the team manager mentioned that he was unhappy with cleat placement so there was a 1mm adjustment made to resolve the issue.

As far as seat post adjustments, my frame is an ISP frame so no worries. As I age and shrink, I'll just cut it down.
