If you watch your leg up and down during a pedal stroke you see the foot pulls in just slightly.
That means you lower leg is twisting your knee at the bottom of the stroke. That is where a
set of kneesavers work best. They enable the leg to stay parallel thoughout the entire pedal
stroke thus no twisting, thus no knee pain!
