Results of a Group Fitting this Weekend

I was in Portales, New Mexico this weekend fitting a group of 11 riders from the area.
Here are the numbers on wedges and 20 mm pedal spacers used for these fits.

A total of 41 cleat spacers were used. 12 on the left and 29 on the right.
A total of 6 -  20 mm pedal spacers were used -  4 on the left and 2 on the right.
Two riders needed a leg length shim due to previous fractures of the hip.
One rider needed +1/2 speedplay zero pedals bilaterally.
Also, almost half the riders need shorter stems, although the actual number is much higher because many of the other riders had already gone to a shorter stem.
Also, 4 of the riders needed a compact handle bar so they could use the drop bar position comfortably.

Paul and Andrew have asked for posts on details about what is being used during fits so thought I would post some of my results from this group.
