I am starting to wonder about that also. I think that it all comes down to whether you run really massive gears and power up hills all day. If you treat your knees with a little respect, and run sensible gears on the hills, there is no problem. I used to have terrible knees before I started riding fixed gear and they are stronger now than ever at 62 years old. Just my experience.
