Shorter cranks are very beneficial to avoid an extreme hip flexion when pedal at the top position. Also, the short length is helping an aerodynamic position.

Bike fit session - Analysing foot anatomy and evaluating knee tracking.

12/2/2017

Foot-pedal interface is very important during bike fitting. Aim is to transfer as much force from foot to pedal and at the same time allow the foot to keep a natural posture in order to not create ankle-knee-hip tensions.  Foot anatomy plays a fundamental role together with shoe. The following two pictures show frames of a video recording needed to evaluate the orthotics changes applied.
