I'm also curious about the impact they may have on my hips, which always seem to give me problems on any ride over two hours in length. Anyone here have experience with the extenders? I'd be interested in knowing what you think of them.
I got a set to screw around with when I was having Q factor issues. One 30 mile ride and they screwed up my hip for the whole year. They are way, way, way too big for any effective Q factor adjustment. Also, depending on how large you are, and the quality of the cranks, there could be an issue there too (i.e. damage to the cranks). That's a lot of extra leverage.
