Change your single treadle Traditional wheels to double treadle. Using both feet doubles the energy and encourages the spinner to sit directly in front of the wheel, which is good for the body posture and balance. The cranks are offset 10 degrees so you can start the wheel in either direction without using your hands. The kit includes a new crank and conrod joints.

This will not fit a pre 1974 wheel. To check, measure the front treadle rail on your wheel (the wooden bit, not the metal pins at each end). If this is 50cm long then you're in luck, this kit will fit your wheel. If it's closer to 55cm long, then your wheel is pre 1974 and the kit will not fit.
