Anyone have experience with patellar tendon straps? Do they work?
You're doing yourself a disservice trying to get this fit handled on your own, piecemeal.
I'll give you an example. I experimented with bicycle fit on my mtn bike (converted to hybrid) for years and years. I never could get it quite right.
I recently got a fit earlier this year. Several hours, computer analysis, measurement and re-measurement of all angles. The result: ZERO KNEE PAIN.
As a result, I transferred those measurements as exactly as I could to the mtn bike. Result: ZERO KNEE PAIN.
Dude, bite the bullet and get a fit. Save, beg or borrow. The results will be well worth it and potentially save you years, if not decades, of guesswork.
