Knee Injury & Fatigue
If you use a clipless pedal system you may be exposing your body to potential knee injuries. Approximately 96% of the population has what is known as a forefoot tilt. This is where the front of your foot is not flat but rather has an angle or tilt. Clipless pedal systems do not accommodate this tilt, instead forcing the foot into an unnatural flat position. The body compensates for this with a lateral (side to side) motion of the knee during the pedal cycle. This has the result of reducing power and creating muscle imbalances that can lead to premature fatigue and serious knee injury.

Solution
There is a simple fix to this problem with the use of The Wedge (formerly known as Big Meat Power Wedges). These are patented, non-compressible, plastic shims that cant/tilt the foot's alignment back to its natural position. The wedges can be used to cant the alignment in or out.

Results
- Decrease lateral knee movement
- Avoid premature fatigue
- Improve ergonomic fit to your bike

Leg-length discrepancies
Do you have one leg that is longer than the other? The Wedge can also correct leg-length discrepancies. As the wedges are symmetrical, leg-length adjustments can be made by using a reverse stacking method.
