People have been paying huge sums for weddings forever. There used to be 2 important things in your life: Wedding and funeral. So a major part of your lifetime earnings went into these important things. Many societies still do it that way.
@Michael Maybe, but it could also be a garage cleanout, maybe an estate cleanup or tenants left stuff behind. There's a bunch of legit reasons why someone could end up with a couple bike frames without knowing a lot about bikes.
@Michael Yes. According to Wikipedia it can be caused by the feet being "toed in", i.e. pointing inwards instead of forwards. This would be caused by to narrow q-factor
@Michael I got some cheap Q factor pedal extenders from Aliexpress - they were cheap steel ones for a few dollars. I put them on my wet bike and it immediately felt "better" Definitely worth doing.
I can also put 2mm of washers on the pedal threads I think
they are long enough to be poking out on the other end
@Erlkoenig: that’s one those bikepacking setups from reddit where I don’t understand why they are not simply using two small panniers: i.redd.it/ax4cuzo147za1.jpg
there was another company that in recent years was trying to bring to market a funky OS "spindle-less", zero-foot-offset design, except it was a weird knobby clipless road thing
the one where the pedal was just an axle? and the shoe had a massive clip thing underneath ?
I can't find a link sorry - from memory there was a bare spindle and all the retention was built into the shoe. It would have been terrible for walking at all.
