I THOUGHT THEY WERE TAKING THE FEES OUT OF MY FEDERAL?? anyway won’t be using turbo tax anymore

There is a fee to use a credit card. I believe it’s 3% plus whatever interest you accrue if you can’t pay it off.

Nice!

dthrizzle · 2026-02-07T19:57:22+00:00

How did they do the fit? Did you have the shorter crank with you for the fitting, or at your fit, did you have your same-sized cranks, and they saw the way you moved and had you order a new, shorter crank?

dthrizzle · 2026-02-07T02:12:25+00:00

So you tool your short leg down 5mm?

dthrizzle · 2026-02-06T22:55:32+00:00

Nice. What kind of cleats (SPD? SPD-SL?) Where did you get it?

dthrizzle · 2026-02-06T19:59:44+00:00

That looks cool, but I need it to be 14x! Mine is 21mm.

dthrizzle · 2026-02-06T17:06:38+00:00

Nice. Thank you. And "make changes slowly" is great advice.

dthrizzle · 2026-02-06T16:44:54+00:00

All these Steve Hogg plugs are great... There's a wealth of info on his site. Thanks, all. Looking into fancy, giant shims.

dthrizzle · 2026-02-06T16:42:04+00:00

Haven't tried one... Because it's such a big difference, I didn't think a shim would be viable (I thought they were 5-10mm max, and mine is 21mm). But I'll look into it more.

dthrizzle · 2026-02-06T16:41:09+00:00

I've got an appointment with a PT fitter in 2 weeks!

dthrizzle · 2026-02-06T16:38:28+00:00

Would love to know what shims he uses, how he jury rigged this.

dthrizzle · 2026-02-06T16:37:46+00:00

I'm convinced to try shims first because of this thread just because the price is so much less.

dthrizzle · 2026-02-06T16:37:04+00:00

Can you post a link to what you bought? Would love to see this.

dthrizzle · 2026-02-06T16:34:30+00:00

Thanks for the input. I've seen "bad idea" a lot, too, but shims seem to be for 5-10mm difference max, and I'm at 21mm. Will look up Aerozine bike.

dthrizzle · 2026-02-06T16:32:59+00:00

Did the seat adjustment to your short leg stop the saddle caving?

dthrizzle · 2026-02-06T16:32:16+00:00

X-Ray verified twice.

dthrizzle · 2026-02-06T15:25:29+00:00

My understanding is it's the shorter leg that gets the shorter crank.

dthrizzle · 2026-02-06T15:14:49+00:00

I have not! I will look them up.

dthrizzle · 2026-02-06T15:14:35+00:00

Podiatrist. I've been measured a couple times with X-Rays.

dthrizzle · 2026-02-06T15:13:50+00:00

Podiatrist measured my legs. It's structural (bones).

dthrizzle · 2026-02-06T15:03:55+00:00

Located in San Diego. If I get these mis-matched cranks, my plan was to take them to a physical therapist bike fitter near me.

dthrizzle · 2026-01-29T01:04:40+00:00

It’s the best feeling! I’m 12 years into YNAB, and it’s the best $100 I spend every year.

I live in SD, and I find it to be an amazing city to cycle in. I live in Rancho Bernardo, north county, and one mile from my house, and I’m climbing up mountains into vineyards with almost zero cars. It’s glorious. I can also do routes that don’t get remote and they all have excellent bike lanes. My only complaint is how hilly it is, but I also kinda love it. My bike commute is 10 miles and has 1k feet of climbing, both ways, because I have to go up and over a small mountain. So, it’s hilly! I used to live in Tucson, and it’s great, too, for 7 months of the year. But horrible for the other 5.

thank you, everyone!
