Certainly maintaining a high spin rate (item #3) and strengthing the muscles around the knee (item #4) are valid, but I question the other two points. Setting your cleats so that you pedal slightly pigeon-toed (item #1) is not really the point. I think you should be set up so that your knees travel in the most 'natural' rotational path possible. Forcing your knees to travel in some arbitrary path could only worsen the situation. Item #2 (using one size 'too small' toe clips) confuses me. What is this supposed to accomplish?
