Pedal extenders

allen-uk

Hello.

I've been aimlessly searching Google for a UK supplier of pedal extenders (preferably singles, as I only want a right-hand one, but I'd settle for a pair).

I've found a couple of US sites, but before going there I thought I'd ask to see if anyone can point me to a site selling them.

Thanks.

Allen, London.

what do you mean by pedal extenders?

link to a US site.

Hello there.

a) your US link didn't take me anywhere

b) this is what I mean:

http://www.kneesaver.net/

i.e. you screw them in where your pedal goes, and then your pedal screws into them, pushing your foot (feet) out by 20-30 mm.

I have a twisted right foot, which means that the heel bashes the crank on the way past. 25mm extra would clear it.

are these the crank thingys that reduce the arm length to aid people with mobility issues?

nicklouse

so they are pedal axle extenders , cant say that i have seen any in the MTB world.

Yes, nicklouse, that sounds like a good description. I might try regoogling with that.

Ride: have a look at the link I gave above, i.e.

http://www.kneesaver.net/

Does what it says on that site, it moves your ankles away from the cranks, and yes, particularly for old or disabled riders.

Just for posterity, in case someone comes back to the subject of Pedal Extenders one day:

A UK seller is:

http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/product.asp? ... rc=froogle

- the only disadvantage is that all he does are 9/16 threads, i.e. fine for road bikes, but not for exercise bikes, which take 1/2", and he only sells pairs, a left and a right.

The US manufacturer does 9/16, 1/2s, sells lefts or rights on their own, etc., and only charges £4 or £5 to post to the UK. His site is:

http://www.kneesaver.net/

And as Rikk pointed out, they also come up on US ebay, but aren't much cheaper than the above US site. Highpath (great people, but even THEY apologise for their prices) do them, but they're nearly twice the price of the kneesavers versions.

Definitely - Highpath have been making stuff like this for years. Their custom chainrings and really drool-worthy! Used to have one on my old Bontrager which cost me £73 in 1992!
