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

general re-cap
4 Bike Fits Auburn AL - October 8th
Average # of wedges required was just over 2 per foot.
Left 2 varus Cleat Wedges - 1 single stack
Right 2 varus Cleat Wedges
Left foot lined up wider than right
Left 2 Varus Cleat Wedges –
Right 3 Varus Cleat Wedges, 2 LL shims (3mm) and 1 single stack
Left foot lined up wider than right
Arrived with 2 BG shims per foot
Left 2 ITS Wedges
Right 2 ITS Wedges
Compared BG shims and ITS wedges back and forth – cyclist preferred the feeling of the ITS Wedges.
Need to add a Cleat Wedge or two (if two then reduce the ITS by one). Cyclist was using Crank Brothers cleats and pedals and we did not have a shoe shield to be able to put a Cleat Wedges under the sheild.
Stance width was about equal
Left 2 Varus Cleat Wedges
Right 2 Varus Cleat Wedges
Slightly wider left stance
3 of 4 cyclists displayed wider left stance
ITS was preferred in back and forth comparison.
2 cyclists required a shim
Do your fits compare to this?
