You can try mine if you like, but I'm not sure you want to do that. It'll change the q-factor and hip angle of your ride.

Yah, I know, but I've gotta get my foot a bit further out -- it's worth a try to see if it creates any discomfort. Wanna mail 'em to me?

The ones I have in some corner of my workshop caused alot of discomfort where the tendons mesh into the foot on the outside. It is worth a shot but if the heal of your foot wants to turn in to compensate for the wider pedal location you'll still get chain rub and some discomfort to go along with it. Sad

I'll leave 'em there for a while...
