Hi There,

Since I am rather tall - 1.95 cm (=6 feet 449⁄64 inches) - the distance between the seat and the pedals is too short: I cannot sufficiently stretch my right leg.
Could someone advise me how to enlarge the distance between the seat and the pedals.

Thanks in advance:

Please e-mail to: grburght@ziggo.nl

I think your dimensions are incorrect, and your true height is 6 feet 4.7 inches in height. Is that correct?
Not

As a nation the Dutch are the tallest people on average so it must be a big problem.
On this forum a member called Padgett cut some of the rear bulkhead away so the seat could lean back more, how effective this was I do not know.

If you have a manual transmission probably not, an auto maybe by an inch or so.

Need to buy one of those new airline seats where they are making them 1 1/2 inches thinner so they can add one more row of passengers.

Would leaning back more solve a situation where the legs are too long for the seat/pedal length?
