We can shorten most solid aluminium cranks by reshaping their ends and then drilling, tapping and facing new pedal holes. Special jigs ensure that these are accurate so that your pedals will run true.

| By how much? | Cranks can be shortened by 20mm or more. See our Cycle Transmission Notes for crank length recommendations. | |
|---|---|---|
| Options | Cranks can be threaded left or right, for normal (9/16") or junior (1/2") pedals. Cranks can also be reverse-threaded for tandem cross-over drives. | |
| Extra holes | Extra holes would give you a choice of pedal positions. However we will only do this if your cranks are wide enough and you agree to indemnify us against breakage. We recommend using Pulse Crank Shorteners instead. | |
| Not possible... | We regret that hollow cranks, steel cranks, carbon cranks and cranks narrower than 25mm at the new pedal position can't be shortened. |
