I have had opinions about proper leg fit for a recumbent. I have been riding more. Would like more
efficiency. On a dimnond frame I know you set your heel on the peddel and at full extension of the
crank you have a slight end at the knee. What is best for a swuss recumbent I have a Vision R44.
THanks for any help fine tuning. Bob Fleer VR44

front, so you can use the seat for leverage.--

THanks for any help fine tuning. Bob Fleer VR44Heel-on-the-pedal is still a good starting point. I have found that I like about a half inch to an
inch extra. My feet hang naturally pointed a little bit.
