Some outside-of-knee issues can be sorted with a slight tweak of cleat position, and seat height, Glenn!

Probably the latter eL Bee!, there's a lot of play in my SPD cleats.

The OS of knee issues come from an unconscious in-turn of the foot near the bottom of the pedal stroke while still under load. It's often (but not always) seen when the saddle is a touch high and you are 'reaching' for the bottom of the pedal stroke. You see the same thing with runners who dorsiflex to force a forefoot landing - foot turns in and creates the slight twist at the knee. Funnily enough - it causes OS of knee/ITB issues in runners too!! |

You do get the same effect with riding with your knees pointed out rather than forward - you know, the position adopted by those with no space between their legs because they have elephant testicles

So you're advising me to keep my knees together?
