Hi guys , im currently having left back knee pains on short rides , i do fair amount of climbing , and cadence is from 80-90rpm ... First of all i used ride a 175mm crank and recently went to 172.5mm , im 5'7 and 150lbs .... I recently feel a pinch after 20miles or so ....i did go for a professional bike fit already but there is still that pinching feeling . Im also using speedplay pedals . I only feel it when my knee is on the top pedal stroke and downwards.. But when my candence is high i dont really feel the pinch

Could this be cleat alignment?

    Every ache and pain seems to come down to "do more core exercise" I wonder if it's actually helped anyone?

    I reckon my core is pretty strong due doing a lot of overhanging rock climbing. Its never stopped my legs hurting.
