Re: how to determine angle of shoes on bar?

[Guest guest]

Bess-

I had this same problem and finally, I found a very clear cut

picture that helped when also using a protractor.

In this website-there is a picture showing the 70degree angle. I

don't recall the exact page number but it is under the heading-

setting up the brace! Hope this helps!

There is a key that comes with the degrees on it that would help you. Is
