Crank Arm Length
Anyone out there running two different size crank arms? The reason I ask is that I have one leg that is almost an inch shorter than the other one. I am wondering if it would be beneficial to run a longer crank arm for my shorter leg.

not that i think it right to run two different crank arms but wouldn't you want to run a shorter crank arm on your short leg? id say stick with equal arms though. just my 2 cents

I'll look into the shims...not sure it is viable given the difference (7/8").
Re-thinking the crank arms, I think I would want to fit the crank to my short side and then get a longer crank for my longer leg.
