Pedal axle extenders
I have a pair of nice wide fitting SPD-SL cycling boots for the Winter. The problem I have is that they rub on the crank arms when at the bottom of the pedal stroke. I have seen 20mm pedal extenders advertised and they are marketed as helping to relieve knee pain. At the moment, I don't suffer any leg problems when cycling and wondered if extending the pedals outwards could cause me any problems? Has anyone an experience on this please?
