What is the genesis for the need to extend the pedals? That much additional length is going to increase the throw of the pedals considerably as well as increase mechanical advantage on the bands.

Easier to lock and go. It probably in this case, has much to do with how it was when it was racing. Looking great Rob! thanks,jw
