Pedal Extender?

I've used the pedal extenders and found them to be useful.

For me they allow a straighter hip/knee/foot position and prevent my heel from
striking the crank.

My understanding is you either love 'em or hate 'em and I am in the former
camp.

I bought both my sets from people in the hate 'em camp so there is a markrt out
there for resale if you don't like them.

I tried pedal extenders, but found the extension to be too extreme. As it
turns out I am not perfectly symmetric, right and left, so the best solution
was to extend the right side only. I did this by ordering a slightly longer
shaft for my speedplay frogs (right side only). If you do try frogs, you
can order the pedal shafts in custom lengths.

this would be a magic cure all for the knee pain. The strange thing is, I
have a Cho-Pat strap and I stopped during the ride and put it around my
right knee. You guess it: the pain went away. So, now I don't know if

pain was a knee cap issue or something that would be helped by adding the
pedal extender. The left knee was fine. I wasn't using cleats or toe
clips, so float shouldn't have been a problem. Any ideas? Has anyone else
used the pedal extender?
