Subject: RE: Clipless pedals and my dodgy knee angle... This usually comes from two causes, or it could be both.
Either you have one leg longer than the other (which is much more common than you might think ). In this case, you right leg might be slightly longer than your left, which means that the knee can't track staight, but is forced out. The solution to this is to put shims under the short leg (in your case, your left ) to compensate for the difference and then raise the saddle so both knees track perfect.
Or, and probably most common, you have a much tighter left leg than right. When you stretch your hamstrings, do you reach further when stretching your right leg then the left? Best way to check this is to standing up cross your legs and reach for you toes (the leg that is behind is the one you stretch ).
Changing the angle of the cleat will not do you any good...
