Adjuster plates for Stock Rearsets...?

Post by banner001 »

Hi, just a quick question, does anyone do adjuster plates for the stock brake and gearshift rearsets for our bike?

I know that you can buy aftermarket sets that include the pedal as well as an adjustor plate, but does anyone just sell that plate? Im fairly tall and my feet could do with shifting backwards and slightly upwards.

If not a friend of mine runs a water-jet cutting business, im sure he can make some up in aluminium, might even be worth a group buy?

if you plot out the geometry, moving my leg backwards automatically lowers my knee, footrest position vertically then does not impact the placement of my knee that much (it more affects where your calf muscle is in contact with your hamstrings). also lowering the footrest can cause ground clearance issues.

still doesnt answer my question...are there any commercially available adjustor plates??

its not an issue of my legs cramping together, more an issue that they start to climb above the height of the fuel tank...

Makes sense to me. Take a drag bikes footrest for example. Move them horizontally back n it will have the effect of opening your knees.
