222 22 22 - 20mm pedal spacers and world record
http://vanessablack.zenfolio.com/p953636325/h20471409#h2187d9cc George Hood did it - a new world record http://www.urbantrigear.com/
Bernie Conway a local fitter called us after George started on his quest. Lateral knee pain was the reason- add the 20m pedal spacer and the pain went away. Way to go Bernie for being on top of it and makeing sure George got the record.

more on 20mm pedal spacers
What is the issue with using them with pedals that are put on with an allen wrench as opposed to pedal wrenches? Is it that you cannot get a tight enough contact between the pedal and the spacer?
I hope these pictures help in understanding why you need a pedal wrench. There is one other spacer I have seen with a thru hole that allowed room for a 6mm allen key to pass but the problem is all the pedals we work with require an 8mm allen key so the hole is not really useful.
SPECIAL - Good for October 18-20, 2010 - mention this blog and recieve $5.00 off an order on a set of 20mm spacers. Limit one set per person

No 20mm pedal spacers on carbon cranks...well most carbon cranks
Why do you not recommend 20mm pedal spacers with carbon cranks?
Thanks for the question. To be honest it is not so much that BikeFit recommends this but rather some manufactures do not support this.
This is a tough one for us to hold back with our actual thoughts but we will….for now.
This is what a few companies have told us. I may not have this word for word so do not hold us accountable to exact wording but here is a synopsis of a few conversations.
Use of 20 mm pedal spacers – what we think
Zipp – Voids warranty
FSA- Voids warranty on ALL their cranks … and they said they will void warranty even if you use a longer pedal spindle – now I did not get a range or what they actually consider a longer spindle as not all pedal widths are the same – most are close but again not all are the same
Truvativ – waiting for an update
Specialized – says they are OK if you use a 20mm pedal spacer on their carbon cranks.
So guess what I ride? I love my Specialized Tarmac S works with carbon cranks.
Right side - I go back and forth between a ½ inch longer spindle (Speedplay Zeros - which I actually pay for) or I use a regular length spindle and a 20 mm pedal spacer.
Left Side -I use a ¼ inch long spindle..
Hope I get to ride a Specialized for a long time!
