It could just be that your body was ahead of medical science, and it's your
newly discovered ALL tendon in your knee. Yes, you read that right, doctors
are THAT good at anatomy they don't know all the parts yet. Sardonic
grin.
Growing up Pigeon toed has given me awesomely narrow q factor so most bikes
fit me nicely. I feel for those who have wide q as all the trends are with
narrow. I don't personally feel that 45 bucks for some machined inserts is
so much, especially not if it helps you ride more. But that is only my
$45 is a bargain ... lol. compared to the used Riv water bottle posted
here from EeeBay ;)

Can you install a wider bottom bracket? You can get a Shimano UN55 square
taper 68 x 127.5 on Amazon.com for ~$20. That'll increase the Q-factor
(quite a bit, if you're currently using 113).

Wider bottom bracket will just throw the chain line off, so I wouldn't go
that route. I think the Kneesavers aren't that bad of an idea. It will be
$45.00 well spent in my opinion.

On Wednesday,
kneesavers looks like a simple answer - cheaper than pedals, BB, etc.

I bought a set of Sunlite Pedal Extenders, but I never mounted them so I
can't speak to quality. Will those work for you? They're $16 from Niagra or
Amazon.

I've used Knee Savers in a couple of sizes on two bikes, together with Grip
Kings. Aside from the fact that I no longer have the dollars spent on them,
I'm pretty happy with the results. Given my anatomy (shoe size and
turn-out), I wouldn't be able to use the Grip Kings otherwise.

Is the Ultegra double or triple ? I can't imagine it would be much
different in Q than the Carmina. Also, what kind of BMX pedals are using
with the Ultegra, and what kind of pedals with the Carmina.
I use Wellgo MG-1's , which are about as wide a BMX style pedals as you're
going to find

OK, so I have discovered that I really prefer a wider stance width,

q-factor but now I realize it doesn't work with my body.
I have some 1/2 BMX pedals
The Ultegra on the Paul Taylor is a triple.
Heh...the BMX pedals on the Paul Taylor are Zefals I got at Walmart for $20
or so. I hate Walmart, but there I was in the store puttering around and I
found these pedals that had buttery smooth sealed bearings. I couldn't
believe it. All the other
