Could you expound? Are you saying strong quads + weak hamstrings == knee pain? I recently started using an exercise bike in addition to squats and climbs in order to get in shape and found that I started having chronic knee pain for the first time in my life, which persisted for months even after I stopped using the bike. I don't use clip on shoes, which I would imagine would allow hamstrings to be utilized more.

Very few datapoints right now, but my knees seem to feel better, not worse, after sprinting exercises. I've been very athletic my whole life and never had knee problems before.
