I've noticed a number of pro riders with SpiderTech or similar bandages on their knees. I don't buy the company's claims about reducing muscular fatigue and cramping but, as a rider who is riding L'Etape with an arthritic knee this summer, I'm interested in possible pain reduction.

So. Hype or not. Anybody have any experience?

My PT used that stuff after I had surgery on my arthritic knee. I have not used it since though. Doubt it could help with fatigue or cramping, but I believe it could be beneficial for tracking/support.
