Leg length correction with MTB pedals?

[Johan Bornman]

This isn't the answer you want to hear, but why not consider a different crank length on the right and left.

Cranks come in 2.5mm increments.

 

Borrow another crank and try it.

JB - Have thought about this and wondered what the end effect would be... better than a shim or not?

Anyone tried this before?

 

Problem is its not so easy to borrow one and expensive to buy and try for an experiment.

 

Steve Hogg from pedalpushers sells the shims for Time mtb cleats, so might look at making my own

Weirdo. My legs are the same length...

 

I bet you they aren't... only weirdos have 2 legs exactly the same length.

 

 

 

Lucky you' date=' you never get lower back pain while riding or standing around?

SwissVan, I got  new bike and had it set up correctly.....I still suffer from lower back pain (~12km into a cycle). LBS said that I might need to replace flat handle bar with a riser bar??

I know that I have uneven hip bones (according to chiropractor)...could this be the problem?

 

And what solution do you suggest?
