Hi

Can I just tape a wedge to the pedal to even out leg length?

I’ve a small variation but don’t use clip on- therefore can’t shim the flats I’m using in town

Stepped shoes? See a bike fitter first and then a cobbler.

Different crank length?

Surely having different crank lengths gives you an effective raised pedal at the bottom of the cycle but a lowered pedal at the top on the shorter crank?

can you get uneven cranks? I need sub 10mm

Well, you’d need to buy a set of cranks at one length and look for a replacement L crank of the other, I guess.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
