I just posted a tech tip with photos to the Inliners web site
(www.inliners.org)on this very subject. Once the webmaster reviews it it
should be available for viewing. If you are in a hurry I can send you the
Word document. I tried an aftermarket pedal assembly (Offy I think) but
could never get comfortable with it. There are undoubtedly many other ways
to do it but this worked for me.
