Outer knee pain

I recently upgraded my road bike a few months ago to a Cervelo R3.
everything is great … except i’m getting knee pain on my left outer knee when traveling distances greater than 40KM.

I got fitted when i first bought the bike, and recently went in for another fitting a few weeks ago (at another bike shop), to try to fix this problem.

He adjusted my cleat position, to straighten out my foot on my pedal stroke, as my toes were pointing outwards before (causing the pain)

I thought this would work … but unfortunately i still get the pain.

I cycle everyday, all year. 90% of it being ridden on a fixed gear track bike.
Have I ruined my knee from fixed gear riding?

I’ve done 40KM+ rides on my fixed, and i don’t get the pain I experience on my cervelo.

Is there anything else i can adjust on my road bike, or some kind of knee brace that would alleviate this pain? .. I’m getting frustrated that I can’t do my usual longer weekend rides.
