I went through a period of knee problems - and truth be told, didn't really suffer the symptoms directly from periods of being in the saddle.Charlieboy28":19wziu4b said:i agree a lot of it is anecdotal evidence , but have a google of bipoace rings and they are very marmite , with the marmite haters citing knee problems .
seems they work well for some but not for others.
I dont think that biopace didnt take off for the big S because of some nasty urban myth either, it was a failed design
again anecdotally speaking, but my knee's arent great, the only chainset i remember problems with was a biopace , but then it was also a 200gs. i also used to push bigger gears at a lower cadence . now i spin quicker in lower gears and dont have the problems

@Reuben : Crank length is 170mm. I'm used to 175, so they're certainly not too long.
The swelling is gone now, so I'm going to do a 30-40 mile trip with my Scott (round XT M730 rings). If I feel ok tomorrow, I guess I'll need to swith the Laïti's chainrings for round ones.
