I have been having pain behind my right knee as shown in the picture. This pain started about 30-45 days after I purchased my road bike. A Felt F60. I am using Time RXE pedals.
After posting the following, most comments were that the seat was likely too high. I was fitted on the bike when it was purchased in Dec. I moved the seat down about 2 CM now in two increments. At 1st I thought it was better. My last 2 rides (10 miles and 20 miles, the pain was bad.) Before the 20 mile ride, I moved it down the 2nd CM. By mile 8, the pain was there and progressivily got worse. After the ride, the pain was worse than I have had yet. Now, on Monday, I am still at about 30% pain from what it was on Sat.

I have been taking it real easy on the bike for about 6 weeks and only riding once or twice per week in hopes of letting it heal up.
Anyway, since changing the seat height has not helped, I am starting to think the issue relates to other parts of my position in some fashion.
Specifically, I have read a few things that seem to make sense.
1. Cleats: My pedals force my foot to stay centered. My natural gate to that my right foot points outward just a bit when I walk and run. My left stays straight.
2. Seat position: Could be too far back is one thing that I have read could be the issue. Not sure. I think my seat is as far forward as I can get it without buying another seat post.
Any ideas, thoughts. First things to try. Thanks.
