Knee pain rarely comes from one factor alone. Saddle height, saddle setback, cleat alignment, stance width, foot support, crank length and cockpit balance can all contribute.
The important step is to stop guessing and identify which factors are actually driving the issue in your case.
I start with how you move off the bike and then analyse the position under load. I am not only interested in where the pain is. I want to understand why your system keeps driving stress into that area.
The order matters. I identify the biggest lever first and make the changes that actually make sense for your bike and riding.
This page covers general cycling knee pain. If your pain is more specific to the front lower knee, the patellar tendon page is usually the better next read.
If the knee symptom seems to appear together with foot pressure, numbness or unstable stance, the foot pages are often the missing part of the picture.
Use the next step that best matches your situation, then move into the right service or advice page.
