Hi All,

After a longish ride I always get a particular pain on the ouside of
my left - and left only - knee.

Could this be, in any way, be related to positioning/fitting?

If so, could a wider or narrower B.bracket make any diference?
(The other day I added a washerbetween the pedal and crank, and could
swear I did not feel this particular pain, on an equally longish
ride.)

TIA,

I was diagnosed with bone spurs under the outboard sides of my knee caps
(patellas).

I was always having pains on the outside of my knees. A friend suggested
that I adjust my toe clips so that my heels are turn slightly in and my
toes are slightly out.

This web site has some good pictures but I don't know how accurate the
info is:

I have very wide feet and I haven't found clipless pedals/shoes that
will allow a position that is comfortably wide enough so I still ride
with toe clips. I had to drill new holes in the clips and pedals but the
change has helped me a lot.
