Kneesavers - Any Good?

Posted on
  • Just saw these on the SJS site.
    Kneesavers Pedal Adapters
    Anyone here tried them?

  • A narrower distance between your feet is reccomended for outer knee problems. I always thought in general it was better to have a narrow BB rather than these extensions.

  • They look ideal for me and my gimp left leg. I always have pain in the knee and hip area because my foot is trying toforce itself to the left.

  • Oh, I thought it was because you're a gimp.

  • not if ur a skinny git with a natural tendancy to have legs together if u get me
    i think it really would depend on a persons physique (cant spell!)

  • Jesus. I wouldn't install those unless I knew for sure I needed them. Go see a physio!

  • increase risk of pedal strike too ;)

  • Hmmm, they look quite interesting. I suffer from pretty bad 'toe-out', particularly on my left leg.

    But, I don't think that I could actually mount my cleats rotated any further round, due to the design of the mounting plates. How would that work?

    @vb - I've never been to see a physio, is it an easy process?

  • "These were developed by physical therapist Randy Ice P.T., C.C.S."

    Now I don't know what P.T., C.C.S. means but goddam! If Randy says I need some, I sure as shit need some.

  • Thought that was going to be about someone putting these on their fixed.

  • old school! I bent a pair og them 'cause I is well hardcore.

  • "Developed by physical therapist Randy Ice P.T., C.C.S., "

    Well if a guy called Rand Ice developed it it must be good.

  • addie Oh, I thought it was because you're a gimp.

    it is limp, NOT gimp.

  • JDB "Developed by physical therapist Randy Ice P.T., C.C.S., "

    Well if a guy called Rand Ice developed it it must be good.

    when people put loads of letters after their name, they're usually desperate.

  • eeehhhh

  • Talking of Randys, here's a token Randy Bender (courtesy of Google images):

  • ice ice baby.......

  • jonaent (Jon) I always thought in general it was better to have a narrow BB rather than these extensions.

    Yeah, I was of the same opinion. I thought smaller Q = better for you.
    It's more aero, that's why Obree used washing machine bearings on his Hour Record bike - to bring the cranks as close together as possible.
    Maybe okay if you're some kind of freak and doctors suggest 'em?
