Source for Extended Pedals or Pedal Extender
I need to extend my left pedal about 16-18mm. Does anyone have a source for an extended pedal (SPD cleats) or a pedal extender? I've looked around and can't find anything of known quality. Everything I've found has a few sketchy reviews (like they break).
Thanks in advance.

I have used Kneesavers since 1980. They are available in three widths and in SS and Titanium. I have the 20mm SS ones.

I have no experience with these, but reading about them I saw a noticeable difference in comments between those that are hollow (permit tightening the pedal through them ?) and those that are solid, the solid ones being the safer bet.
You can also change your crank for one with a greater Q-factor, which is what I did.

Whatever it is, I won’t buy stressed parts on eBay or Amazon unless the are a major brand, and then I’m really careful about counterfeits.
For example, there are some SRAM labeled derailleurs on Amazon that are about 60% the cost of what the major online bike retailers sell them for. No thanks.
