float and knee pain..DOH!
It just occurred to me...during my first skids, I cranked down my right pedals super tight, on both sides..
They are the spd comaptible WTP pedals, similar to most shimano style pedals..anyways, I TOTALLY bombed on the idea that one side was float, one side was unclip tension.
Anybody know which side, front or back, adjusts float? I cant seem to figure it out, although I THINK its the rear...
This could CERTAINLY shed some light on my recent knee pain...

uhh i dont think float is adjustable on spd-type pedals, but i could be wrong. if they're double sided pedals and there is only 2 set screws, then they are both for tension. the rear screw adjusts the tension of the clip facing up. do they make SPDs with adjustable float? you can change float by changing to different cleats too i think.....key words are 'i think'
