SCOR Productions of Whittier, California, makes 20mm extensions
for pedal spindles under the Kneesavers trademark. Suggested
retail is US$45/pair. Their ad in the Bicycle Business Journal
gives a toll-free number, 800/548-4447, but I don't know if they
will sell direct to the public, or only through dealers. If the
toll free number won't work for you, their address is:
SCOR Productions
12300 E Washington Blvd, Ste. W
Wittier, CA 90606
No relation -- just remembered seeing their ad.
