Windbreaker Posted September 15, 2007 Share With teh ohyios and chiro's w ework with we find with cyclists is thattheir quads are very strong and tend to pull the knecap off centrecausing pain. Enough about the foreigners. What about us souf effricans, do we pull the knecap off center? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivanb Posted September 15, 2007 Share Yikes check my typing!! Thats physio's (physiotherapists) and chiro's (chiropractors) I dunno have a look do you? LOL Knee injuries are serious business, it can end the fun of running cycling or any sport quickly. Another point of interest which can also be factor to these knee pains. Leg extensions or knee extension it should be called is a bad exercise as it puts tremendous force on the ligaments etc in the knee when the weight is loaded and this seems to be a cause of many ligament injuries as the lower leg is pulled away from the upper leg and then the leg extension exercise is done while the ligaments are under strain. Sport medicine is now saying leg extension is a no no rather lunge or squat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdk555 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Wannabe, the boet and I did Tour de Vino which was first funrace on the tandem with Q rings and both of us did not feel any specific knee pain but I can tell you that my gluets (spelling??) are sore and I believe that it is directly attributable to the fact the fact we climbed Hellshoogte without going into granny once. I can tell this that we are not 100% comfy on the tandem since fitting the Q's but I do believe that it is a combination of very bad winter unfitness and that bike set up needs some tweeking.

Wannabe Posted September 20, 2007 Share Sorry guys, was out of contact for a while. Ok, did make a slight adjustment to saddle height (+- 2mm up). Only recently remembered that I did move my saddle forward a bit. That causes a drop in saddle height. Knee felt ok during week's short/ hard sessions. Will be doing some long rides this long weekend. Will report back next week.Tx for your concern and feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
