I've been caning it a bit too much I think. I've woken up with a right knee that feels a bit stiff and specifically a feeling of tightness on the right hand (out) side, just behind the bend of the joint. What have I done?

    check saddle height isn't too high too. I had similar symptoms almost immediately after a poor bike fit which sought to set the seat as high as possible. lowered saddle and it went within a week. raised saddle again and it came back, lowered saddle and it went again!

    Completely agree with experimenting with saddle height. If mine is too high the back of my knee hurts. Too low and the front/sides of my knee hurt.

    When it's right, I can ride hard for 4 hours and am fine.
