Clips on hybrid bike?

[KnottedYet]

Take a look at the website I gave a few posts back, it's got contact info, and from everything I've heard the folks are great to work with and very willing to answer questions.

The cranks are NOT modified for the short leg. Instead the pedal is "dropped" onto a second arm for the long leg. The length of the drop is approximately the same distance as the lift you have built into the midsole of your modified shoes for the short leg.

(So if you have a 3/4 inch full-length lift built into the midsole of your short-leg shoe, that is about what they will DROP the long leg crank. It's a whole lot more expensive than the $50-$75 you've been spending to modify all your shoes, but a lot of folks feel it's worth it.) (and don't worry about the taper, if you have your lift taper from 3/4 to 1/2 heel-to-mets, they really are more interested in the thickest measurement of your lift)

Obviously an orthotic or insert isn't gonna do it for a cycling shoe, but your cobbler will be able to tell you if he can lift the forefoot of a cycling shoe to the same measurements he's been lifting your other shoes. More than likely, he'll say "no." That's where shims come into play if you don't want to spend the money on cranks.
