cone wrench: why so massive?

"q-factor" Would that be "lateral bending stress"? Makes sense to me that one would want the distance between pedal and crank to be "vanishingly small" (as my calculus text put it). Q-factor, as I understand it, is primarily considered a knee stress issue; the farther apart the pedals are, the greater the angle which the knees must deal with. -- Typoes are a feature, not a bug.

For any given rider, having the pedals farther apart may match their knees' natural tendency (or is that tendoncy? :-) better, and vice versa. -- I do not accept unsolicited commercial e-mail.

Which is why I find "KneeSavers" (pedal axle extenders to increase Q-factor) to be a poorly-named product. They probably saved the knees of the guy who invented them, but for most of the people out there, they'll do more harm than good. |
