Maniax Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Dear hubbers I started struggling with my right knee a month ago when I pushed 160km in a weekend training for the Argus. Since then I gymmed, "foam rolled", did a setup, changed my shoes and cleats and everything else short of a professional ergofit.Still, I rode yesterday after almost three weeks off the bike and my knee hurt lekker last night. Any advice? There's no way I am not riding the argus....
Super Sywurm Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 The only advice I have is to stop riding your bike, but don't listen to me. It's STUPID advice!!! Maniax 1
Skylark Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) That's not a kif one , esp after taking 3 weeks off Edited March 5, 2014 by Skylark Maniax 1

jkoorts Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Depends where on the knee the pain is. google "patellofemoral-pain-syndrome." If you buy the book advertised here http://saveyourself.ca/tutorials/patellofemoral-pain-syndrome.php then send me a copy please
Warthog whisperer Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Had the same problem after the Dash Solo last year, ..............end of the story is I am going in tomorrow for an op to clean the knee out, and then I will start training again for this years Dash. It cost a lot of manage if you have bad knees.
eddy Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 ouderdom? Try to keep up. He said the knee pain is a month old. :whistling: RoboLuke 1
Maniax Posted March 5, 2014 Author Posted March 5, 2014 Its just below the knee on the outside of the leg. Pain intenses as the ride progresses and shoots down to me foot. Its not cramps. Believe me, after the Burger I know the difference. I lose power as well as the pain increases.
Race Turtle Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Go for 'n lekker leg massage and do some stretching in the morning and evening.. especially those quads!
Warrior Princess Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Try to keep up. He said the knee pain is a month old. :whistling: a month TOO old? eddy 1

Hop on your roadie sled and pedal around the block taking careful note when looking at the top of your knee vs where it bisects with your pedals axel when your foot is parallel with the ground and in front of you. Have you changed cleats, shifted your saddle or changed any other components as of late?
