Check the seat height, sounds like it might be too low.

Thanks Gil but the seat height is correct. I've even tried to alter the
seat height to a slightly lower position to alleviate the discomfort.
Needless to say, it didn't work. Near the end of a 37 mile ride the
pain in my right knee was pretty bad. At about mile 35 I decided to
stop for a minute but when I started again the pain was far worse for
the next 1/8 mile until it "loosened up". I dared not stop again no
matter how much pain I had.

You want to raise it, not lower it.

My normal seat adjustment gives me a slight bend in the knee. If I
raise it anymore there'll be no bend in the knee. To try to alleviate
the knee pain I couldn't go higher as I would have to ride tipy-toe to
reach the pedals, so I tried to go a bit lower.

the stock coker rim on the trail is ok if you keep en eye on it, and not
abuse it. You soon learn to ride gracefully through and around stuff
you would ususally drop or smash into. I learned a lot of control my
learning Coker MUni on the stock rim. It only went bad when I tried to
do things like small drops and riding over log piles, etc...)

my recommendation is take your coker out for a muni, but by very mindful
of the wheel. (but you're on your own if it taco's)
