SwissVan Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Anyone know how to correct a leg length discrepency on a time MTB pedal system?Or if not possible does anyone know of another mtb pedal system that allows you to add shims to correct LLD.I would like to add a 3 - 5 mm shim on one side? Thanks
AndreZA Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I think all you should need to do this is the correct length bolts. Just measure the current length + the thickness of the shims and all should be okay. .
TNT1 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I know, it's called a seat post binder bolt. You loosen it, and set your saddle to the correct height...

Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Swiss, I got the same problem. I need a 3mm on my right leg. You cannot asdjust as the mtb pedals and cleats is not flat as on a road shoe.
SwissVan Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 Weirdo. My legs are the same length... I bet you they aren't... only weirdos have 2 legs exactly the same length.

You don't want to rock for the shortest leg to reach the bottom of the spin. .
TNT1 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Weirdo. My legs are the same length... I bet you they aren't... only weirdos have 2 legs exactly the same length. And I'll bet mine are close enough not to bother me on the bike (or any other time)

SwissVan Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 nope. I are a finely tuned athlete... http://www.iconscripts.com/uploadimg/1205578864.gif Must be all those bricks you handle Bobthebuilder
