In June 2022 we did a tour down the Canal du Midi in southern France.  In 
June 2022 it was 105 degrees in the shade in southern France - fires 
breaking out everywhere - but we had already paid, so we went.
Long story short, I got heatstroke and something called compartment 
syndrome, which resulted in an 18 day stay in a hospital in Carcassonne.

What’s my point?  I now pedal with the ball of my foot on the right side, 
and closer to the arch of my foot on the left.  So, since I have 170mm 
pedal arms… my right foot is happy but my left foot wants something a 
little shorter; maybe 165 or 167.5.

Has anybody else here felt the need, or maybe used, asymmetric pedals - 
shorter on one side than the other?  Is there a problem inherent with this 
(other than hassle of buying a new crank arm)?  Is there some kind of 
out-of-balance load that will crack my bottom bracket shell or some such?

Before I go off and buy a shorter Suguino XD2 crank arm, I just wondered if 
there are others who have had/solved a similar problem.
