Knee pain

Hi all,
Sorry if this has been raised before. I'm pretty new to cycling, about 18 months. I bought a new bike 5 months ago. Correct frame size and the saddle height was set using a goniometer. I've done just over 1000 miles on it but the last few rides I've developed an knee pain. The pain takes a couple of miles to surface but when it does it seems to be just between the bottom of the knee cap and the tibia. Possibly the patellar ligament. I only experience the pain when cycling and have a mild twinge when using stairs. It's fine to walk on or even bend normally and not sensitive to touch. I don't use cleats, just normal trainers. Any advice?

Other suggestions are having the saddle too far forwards which is more of a road bike thing. Due to a completely different riding style / bike setup this is not as much a problem on mountain bikes. If you look up KOPS but use it as a guide.
Thanks.
