Editorial Review: Product Description
The LeWedge is a quick and easy way to get better results from your pedal stroke and gain a competitive edge. Designed by a former member of the US cycling team, LeWedges are patented, non-compressible, plastic shims which enable you to pedal with more power and comfort. Reduces Knee Injuries & Pedal Fatigue. If you use a clipless pedal system you may be exposing your body to potential knee injuries. Approximately 96% of the population has what is known as a forefoot tilt. This is where the front of your foot is not flat but rather has an angle or tilt. Most clipless pedal systems do not accommodate this tilt, instead forcing the foot into an unnatural flat position. The body compensates for this with a lateral (side to side) motion of the knee during the pedal cycle. This has the result of reducing power and creating muscle imbalances that can lead to premature fatigue and serious knee injury. Simply attaching one or more LeWedges shims to a cycling shoe can eliminate most of the gap created by the inward or outward tilt of the foot - placing the foot in a neutral position throughout the pedaling cycle. Corrects Leg-Length Discrepancies. Many individuals have one leg that is slightly longer than the other, which can also impact your cycling performance. As the wedges are symmetrical, leg-length adjustments can be made by using a reverse stacking method.
