By the way, one thing I should have mentioned in my previous reply is that
there is no law which says a Rivendell-style bike must be written with the
saddle all the way back. Where your saddle is should be dictated by your
anatomy and style of riding, not by the "geometry" of your bike.

All my 3 Riv customs have had 73 degree seat tubes, and I have no problems
with clipless pedals. My bars are about 2" below the saddle, but on my
Monocog 29er, where they are about 1/2" above the saddle (all drops), no
problem with clipless either.
FWIW, my saddles have migrated back almost a full

I had tendonitis and discomfort with low-Q factor cranks. Going to a wider
stance helped. (lucky me, most modern cranks have wider Q factors, so I had
plenty of options) What cranks are you running? I'm assuming you've used the
same cleat/pedal setup on other bikes/cranksets without issues?
just wanted to add one thing, i happened to have pain in my legs
because of too much friction between cleat and pedal with my old TIME
pedals, cleaning and adding some teflon lube solved that problem.
Another thing someone else already mentioned: Pain in your ankles

Thanks everyone. All of your feedback has given me new places to
start looking for solutions.

First question, exactly what kind of pedals are you using?
Secondly, the position of the cleat can cause knee, back & other
issues (such as "hot foot") if not angled and positioned correctly
(including the fore and aft). If you can't snap in, I have to wonder
if the cleats and pedals are properly

I can think of no r
I doubt that clipless pedals would be your problem. I have been riding a Riv
Road with similar setup and angle for year with no real problems. My guess is
that your cleat setup is off and needs to be aligned better. A quality bike
shop should be able to hlp with this.
Best of luck,
