Interesting Take on My Knee

I spent some time at Rib Mountain Cycles today just talking with some people and my knee problems came up. One take on the problem may be my bike fit. It came about when we started talking about my new bottom bracket. The new bottom bracket is 108mm and the old one was 113mm. My knee problems started right about the time I changed the bottom bracket. Randy suggested I bring my bike to fit it for me. He said that the fact that the pedals now moved in closer to the bike changed the angle my knees sit at and might be causing the pain since I only have problems after I ride my bike. I would describe "problems" as almost not being able to walk up stairs. Spring sounds like a good time to get a fitting and see if going back to a 113mm bottom bracket may be in order. Stay tuned for more on that and my trip this weekend to The Iceman Cometh in Traverse City, MI.
