OK, thanks for the replies. I'm back from the physio. Her diagnosis is also very vague....and she used a lot of medical terminology which I didnt understand. But the long and the short is lucky for me not a worn out cartridge! It's an allignment issue or muscle imbalance issue as CycleJunkie noted. My muscle on the ouside of my leg, joining at the kneecap is very stiff pulling my patella towards the outside of my leg. That forces the kneecap to "slide" not within the "normal path", causing the pain. The physio also suggested to see a Bio-kineticist to assess the power and allignment imbalances between the legs, and help with stretches. And....the normal "rest" the knee. But that is going to influence my current Karoo-to-Coast training. Now, just to find a "good" Bio-kineticist in the region????? Damn.... I'm going to miss the Myprodol "high's" while training. @FacePlant, thanks for the comment PJ.... but I doubt that that is the issue since my saddle is the same height as the previous frame, but I'll play around with different heights.
