I have pain on the outside of my knee (I.T. band area). Could this mean my saddle is too high? I realize there could be other reasons for this pain, but I think I have heard someone say that the location of knee pain (i.e. whether it was on the inside of the knee vs. outside) could indicate whether saddle is too high/low? Has anyone else heard of this?

I get this when my saddle is too low.

Thanks…this link was very helpful. I have this weird I.T. band/achilles tendonitis thing going on…the 2 seem to be connected to each other. I have a history of achilles tendonitis, but have never had problems with it while training for tris…just while running exclusively. I think I may have tweaked my knee due to a poor position on the bike and the resulting tightness may have caused the achilles to get inflamed. I’m just trying to figure it all out.
