Actually, I do have a titanium right knee, and that's the one I use! It
bends fine to 90 degrees plus, and I kneel on the left knee and use the
right knee (shin actually) and toe wedged under the tire.  They are well
trained after 35 years of doing this.

You don't have a limited-range titanium knee on one leg and a fused ankle on
the other, I bet.
