Ride2 Crank Shortener
I got my new crank shorteners in from Ride2. I'm really happy with them. I only need the right one, so I have an extra left size one. If anyone is interested in it, please PM me and we can negotiate. They are originally 95$ from Amazon.com
I have to use an AFO for my paralyzed right ankle and foot. My brace sits at a 90% angle and now I have been able to lift my seat to the proper level for good bike fit. These things make a world of difference!!!

Hey Pibe. I'm sorry but I don't have it any more. I donated it to Ride2Recovery for disabled vets wanting to get into biking.

Just ordered... I don't really care that it looks a bit clunky as I plan to use my recumbent trainer as a test bed. I'm thinking that the first increment may be all that I'm looking for given what I have to start with. Even so, it's good to have additional 'settings' available to experiment with. Based on the biofeedback I get I'd like to incorporate my findings into shorter cranks on my road bike. I've seen the site of the engineer who can help relocate pedals by drilling new holes in cranks but I'm not sure I can take advantage of this method as my ride employs Shimano's Hollowtech cranks.

If possible, it seems more economical to just buy a crankset sized for your right leg and a replacement crank for your left leg.
