I’ve been riding singlespeed almost exclusively this year. But today, reluctantly dug out the geared bike as a dodgy tendon in the back of my knee that has been bugging me since the last Brownbacks race (4 weeks ago) seems to be getting worse with each ride. The injury is not exactly painful, but more ‘niggly’. And I know (from post ride aching) pushing a big gear up steep hills is not helping.
Voodoo Bokor out of retirement (for the time being)
I’ve booked a physio appointment early next week which will hopefully shed some light on what I’ve done and how to fix it. I’m worried that I’ll be ordered off the bike to rest up so getting an easy spin in tomorrow just in case.
I plan on finally doing my first ‘traditional’ CX race next weekend so lets cross those fishfingers…

My knees are sensitive to the saddles height and cleat position on the SS’ing. If i’m mashing a big gear (climbing) then I have to have the saddle high up or I will get knee ache after an hour or two.
