RE: [RC] SR Enduro stirrup question - Smith, DaveSara: I tried the broomstick and wet fender approach with my then new Synergist. The fenders did straighten out my caged stirrups, but only temporarily. Soon, the stirrups were turning out again. So I installed the metal devices (can't think of their names, but these are devices that swivel the stirrup forward) and they have worked out well. They attach with a long bolt and locking nut. I routinely check the nut for tightness before mounting to avoid losing a stirrup at the wrong moment. So far, no problems. Also, you'll have to readjust your stirrup length because the metal devices extend the stirrup length about 1.5 inches -- which worked out well for me since the most comfortable stirrup length for me was in between two of the stirrup adjustment holes. There are other solutions that I've seen, but didn't try. One is installed on the fender, itself, some way and twists the fender so that the stirrups face forward -- but if my memory is correct, you have to make some holes in the fender to attach them, which I didn't want to do. Anyway, if you're having trouble with your stirrups facing outward and putting too much pressure on your knees, you might give the metal things a try. Like I said, they've worked well for me. --Dave -----Original Message----- From: ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Brian & Sara Minsk Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2006 5:43 PM To: ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [RC] SR Enduro stirrup question Hi, all! I have a quick question.... My SR Enduro fenders are still not broken in and my stirrup angle is awkward. I want my stirrups (caged endurance) facing straight so the torque on my knees is reduced. It's tiring trying to keep them forward because they want to turn in. Any suggestions? I saw a metal device you could buy that turns your stirrups so they face straight. Anybody have any luck with it? Thank you! Sara =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
