Whoa, hold the brakes! You're asking about injury prevention while cycling for weight loss, but I'm stuck on your etype BB dilemma. Listen, if you're considering switching to a standard BB, do it! Etype is so last season. You'll thank me when you're not wrestling with compatibility issues. Now, about that chainset... axle length is key. Measure twice, buy once. Don't be that guy who ends up with a setup that's more Frankenstein than finely-tuned machine. As for strength training and cross-training, think of them as insurance policies for your knees. Invest in some squats and lunges, and you'll be pedaling like a pro in no time.
