Seriously, your knees start to hurt when you ride brakeless right?
(specifically.. how long have u been ride til it began to hurt, how bad is it now, and what do you do about it)
for those who seem to have flawless knees, how do you guys manage to do so.
no knee pain, been riding brakeless for work to the tune of 200-300 miles a week for years, 72 inch gear in winter, 80 inch gear in summer and is not like im a kid made of rubber either, im 41 years old
my bike fits, that helps, I use clipless and my cleats are set properly
other thing is technique, I stand up under high torque situations and skid when needed but try to keep that to a minimum
