... has asked my advice on setting up a bike for them.
He's got one normal leg, but his right leg is, er, not normal. Basically, below the knee has minimal muscle, the ankle is fused at a right angle, and his foot is about 3/4 size. The whole leg ends up around 1" shorter than the other, with corresponding weaknesses.
He's mentioned that his right leg is always stretching (fully extended), and has little power in it.
So, I was thinking, a shorter drive side crank (possibly re-tapping at about 150mm), a flat pedal on the drive side and an SPD on the non drive side.
Anyone think of anything else, or have I missed something glaringly obvious?
He's never used clipless pedals, so I don't know if he'll go for it.
