    Which are the best ankle guards. Although I haven't received
    my Summit yet I know it has the KH cranks, thus the nub
    problem is included. Before Iwas told to wait and see if I
    was affected, however if I'm already affected on my Torker
    Cx I think it'll be fine to go ahead and either get the
    ankle guards or get the nub problem fixed.

    Ankle guards or nub problem fixed?

    Ankle Guards are $19.

    Not sure what the nub fix costs.

    Which should I go with?

    I just realised I have the problem with no nubs so I'll go
    with guards, but if I leave the nubs then will the combo of
    guards and nubs be too obstructive?

    So finally, my questions are, no nubs and guards, or nubs
    guards? and, how much does the nub fix cost and can I do it
    myself? Thank you.

    Ps. Sorry for wordiness.

    Steve Howard has a gallery detailing the nub removal process.
    'Steve's crank protrusion removal gallery'
    (gallery.unicyclist.comprotrusion)

    The process involved machining off the protrusion on the
    crank and adding 1/4 inch of additional spacers on each side
    of the hub spindle. If you print out the gallery a local
    machinist should be able to figure out the process. I have
    no idea how much the machining should cost.

    You might also do well to get the '661 Dually shoe'
    (vsportgroup.comshoe dually.html). It's a
    high top shoe with ankle protection. It's a good shoe. I
    did, however, have to add a Dr. Scholl's Advantage Sport
    insole that has a plastic arch support to stiffen up the
    shoe. Otherwise drops hurt my feet because the shoe sole was
    too flexible and soft.

    SOOO: I am not the only one that has that problem.

    I only been at this for a couple weeks. I went to wearing
    leather "winter" boots that are about 9" hi an insulated.
    That is not a good summer fix. I will look into ankel
    protectors. I suppose in any good sports store. ?Galyans?
