These are great for the long-legged or those of us with super human kneecaps, but for most people, they are just too long.   Easy Knees Crank shorteners allow you to effectively shorten your crank arm length and experiment to find out how much shorter works for you.  Crank shorteners can also be used to accommodate legs of different lengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your legs are the same length, but maybe your knees aren't as good as they used to be, a shorter crank arm can help alleviate some of the strain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese crank shorteners are designed for use by adults and for use with modern cranks with curvy, shaped arms.  The unique design of the side anchors makes them both very strong and able to handle any crank size and shape, even really wide or really curved ones. The side anchors that lock to the crank are super heavy duty to handle adult pedaling loads and have a very wide (22 to 44mm) adjustment range. The adjustment is both simple and very positive.  This feature is what drove us to make crank shorteners. \u003cstrong\u003eNo other crank shortener can handle the range of crankarms or pedaling forces that these can\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fc0hXfZZTUM?si=XdBi3GnSYuo584-L\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e If you have one bad knee or have limited range of motion in just one leg, check out our\u003ca title=\"Easy Knees Pedal Swing\" href=\"\/products\/easy-knees-pedal-swing-and-crank-shortener-kit\"\u003e Easy Knees Pedal Swing\u003c\/a\u003e.
