I put my daughters bike on the trainer to ride this winter, I didn't want to put in my bike with carbon stays. I know the bike is a bit to small but not extremely small. I have found that when riding over an hour I have a burning pain on the inside left knee and my feet in the clips ache. I think adjusting the seat up might work on the knee, what about the feet? Should the seat go back also? Can anyone help tweek the bike for pain free riding?

If you've been fine with your own bike, then duplicate the measurements. If the bike is too small period, then I'd do something else (inexpensive used bike, rollers, something) than get injured. The injury could be a long term problem vs a solution that doesn't involve experimentation on your body.
