You should probably change the gear ratio. I use 42/16, which doesn't hurt my knees but is still around 18mph at 100rpm. Incidentally, my average cadence while commuting is only about 60rpm, so this is probably too high a gear for my actual needs. 42/19 would save my knees and probably be just as good.
