Both E changes on the left knee: Would you keep the rod and bellcrank holes exactly the same, swapping LKL with LKR and pedals A&C? Since both knees and pedals being swapped have 2 rods, should it be pretty easy?

thx

Yes, the travel will need some adjustment though.

On an ALL PULL such as a Legrande this is a very easy and common configuration change. Two rods on each pedal, two rods on each lever. Just make notes of the CHANGER positions and Bell Crank positions for each before you remove the rods.

Reposition the bell cranks on the cross shafts so they line up straight to the changer positions.

As mentioned directly above, the only thing that may require some adjustment would be the K lever travel and / or the Pedal travel. Maybe.

IF this takes you more than a half hour or so, STOP and re examine what you are doing !

Travel might need to be increased? How is that done? Backing off the stops?

thx
