Anyone have experience with patellar tendon straps? Do they work?
Pain on the inside or outside or center? Cyclists usually have patellar issues because of a weak or incorrectly firing VMO. Here's what I know about that:

AFAIK there's nothing newer out there than what is discussed in that post. I've used the described knee extension exercise on others with surprisingly quick results.
Most pain that people try to fix with a fit is the result of simple physical problems. I can ride pretty much anything I can reach the pedals on pain-free. That's not unusual and is simply the result of appropriate training.
