Ep 67: Foot & Shoe Fit Optimisation PART 3 of 4: Leg Length Differences - Are You Wonky & Does It Matter?

The third part of our mini series on foot & shoe optimisation. Our aim is to explore some of the finer details of bike fit to help you find the next level of connection with your bike! In this episode we discuss the fascinating world of movement symmetry and how navigate leg length differences in the context of bike fitting. The hard truth is that you, as a human, are not symmetrical in both in structure and movement. So how does this affect our bike riding? Should you been "correcting" for asymmetry in your legs? And how should you go about doing this? If you've been struggling with persistent single sided saddle sores, foot pain, back ache, or any other single sided discomfort when riding, perhaps it's worth thinking about this topic. Listen on for a practical view on managing leg length differences in cycling. Coming up next: PART 4 - Wedging... what is that?!? ⁠Listen back to PART 1 for more tips on cleat positioning and how to use extender plates.⁠ ⁠We recommend listening to the TEN PILLARS OF BIKE FIT to establish your bike fit fundamentals before exploring stance width.⁠ ⁠FORM bike fitting make leg length shims for road and mountain bike cleats If you have any further questions for us, join the conversation at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/cyclingdemystified/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Are you 'bike-fit curious'?
