    Only kissing it but it’s starting to annoy me. Not too bad in summer shoes as there is more sideways movement on the cleats but my winter boots have a fixed position.
    Solutions are put 2 mm of spacers on left hand pedal. Is this safe?
    Buy some pedal extenders ,which will be too wide and they look dodgy.
    Find some way of taking the post apart and rotating so that the mechanism is to the rear.
    Flogging it and drilling the frame for an internal one.
    Any other cunning plans?

    I’ve got the same issue. No solution yet. Might see if I can dismantle it and remantle it 180 degrees out. Or I’ll try sliding my saddle forward.

    Have found this will go and space my pedal 5mm and see if it works.

    Have they changed the design ? I have one of these from a couple years ago and cannot see how you would rub a leg on it.

    It’s less sticky out than the quick release holding my seat post in……..

    I am a nightmare for calf rub on frames as well.
    Whacked a 5mm spacer in and all seems good. Daylight between leg and activator.
    Longer axles ordered.

    I might try a pedal spacer then.

    But the collar is higher up which puts it closer to the point where my thighs are wider.

    Turn it 180 degrees?

    Tried that but you can’t as the seat clamp points up in the air .

    Longer axles fitted and no rub whatsoever.
    Happy days.

    I rotated the cable entry to a better position on mine, it wasn’t too difficult. I followed the below instructions to disassemble it and then reassembled it in a better position.

    SpecEpic, a day too late!
    That does look a bit complicated , got a pic up the finished item?

    I had the same issue when I ran one, I learnt to ignore it.

    It was significantly less annoying than droppers where the cable enters under the saddle giving a massive loop when dropped.
