SPD Shim

[jasonmccullum]

My left leg is shorter than my right and i am looking to equalise this using some shims under my left SPD cleat.


Does anyone know where i can get hold of some of these?


Thanks

would it not be easier to put an insole in your shoe?

yeah it would but if you make it too thick your toes get squashed.... i am planning to do a bit of both

This reminds me of a question I was going to ask here.

One of my legs is longer than the other and this had led to me having ankle & knee problems from running. I now have custom made orthotics that I use not just for running but for general use as well. These seem to have enabled me to be able run pain free which I haven't been able to do for years.

Question is should I use the orthotics in my cycle shoes?

yeah i am the same.. my everyday shoes are all made up, but i am considering doing the same to the cycling shoes as i am getting a little knee pain

Cleat wedges easy enough to source from the USA, less so in UK

A hypothetical alternative would be to get a different pedal with a higher stack height for the shorter leg if the above measures are not sufficient.
