Hey Chaps,

Has anyone installed Boost Axles on their Burgtec Penthouse pedals? Does it feel like it makes a real world difference? They're 5mm out, which sounds pretty short in difference!

Cheers

Ricks

Depends if you need them or not? It's like saying "I have size 44 shoes, should I get size 45's they're only 5mm bigger".

Adjustable Q-factor has been a roadie thing for years, you can get washers and longer axles to adjust it. Although the Burgtec axles are so solve the problem some people had of the pedals being too close to the cranks causing excessive rubbing for some people.

I've been thinking about this for a while , when I ride the fat bike my feet feel in a better position on the pedals compared to my normal bike .
I seem to have my feet 5-10mm over the outside edge of the pedals .
