Shims for cleats?

rodgers73

My right leg is shorter than my left by a quarter inch.

Can I buy something to sit under my cleat to even things up when riding? Does anyone mass produce these??

Yes there are shims for many different types of cleats - google the type of cleats you have and leg length shims and you should find them. If you can't post the type of cleats and I'm sure someone will find them for you (maybe even me if I'm bored at the time I read the post!)

I have one leg 15 mm shorter due to compound tib and fib fracture....I tried for ages to make my shoe the same length in the end I looked at loads of riders and noticed how various people have different angles on the pedals by choice, so thought let's try just without anything....it took a few weeks to adjust but I have been riding and racing over 25 years now with no shims....you just get used to it.

In the end i got my perfect position on my good leg, then dropped the saddle 5mm, so i am short 5mm on one leg and long by 10mm on the other....it is not perfect but it works for me and importantly does not cause me any issues.

I definitely get a sore spot on my right buttock - no matter how much chamois cream I apply - so I'd like to try and tackle it. Especially as I like doing long distance rides.

My pedals are bog standard Shimano SPD-SLs.

I'l see what Google throws up.

This is easy if your shins are different lengths, but tricky if it is your thighs - as your knees will be doing different things.

thebikewhisperer.co.uk does shims, don't know if they would supply them to "non-clients" but they sent me a 2nd set of shims/screws for a new (2nd) pair of shoes.
