How to choose the right axle length.
The standard axle provides 50mm of offset from the crank arm to the centre of the pedal body. Most riders find the standard length works best. To determine the correct axle length: when pedaling through the crank cycle your knees should remain in line with your feet and hips. If you find your knees splay inward or outward you may benefit from a narrow or wider axle. Axles can be changed by the users and are available for purchase separately, please inquire about axle prices.

Why choose a narrow or wider fit.
In general narrow fit will benefit riders of small stature. Time trialist and track riders can benefit with a narrower fit through improved aero-dynamics and greater corner clearance. Be aware; moving the foot inwards to improve aero dynamic or corner clearance may compromise comfort and increase strain resulting in injury.
Riders who have exceptionally large feet or wide hips bones may benefit from a wider position.
We recommend you should consult a fit specialist or qualified coach before making major changes to your foot position.
Axles can be purchased separately, please inquire about pricing and availability.
