Calculating leg movement
On another forum I visit a member has asked where they can get "shorter pedals" to suit a hip problem.
This translates to how can he reduce movement at his hips. The obvious answer is to use shorter cranks (Which i reckon is what he meant by shorter pedals) and move the saddle height as appropriate.
Does anyone have a formula that will calculate either the angle of travel? Obviously the variables include crank length, knee to sole distance and knee to hip distance.
Don't know what his comfortable range of motion at the hips is.
