Speedplay’s spindle lengths are measured from the pedal shoulder—where q factor leaves off—to the center of the pedal platform. This is handy, if you want to measure the absolute width from one pedal platform to the other.
Does pedal spindle length matter?
Longer pedal spindles might be recommended. This rider’s stance width is too wide; the knees are tracking to the inside of the pedals. Shorter pedal spindles might be recommended. Proper stance width keeps knees happy and power transfer efficient, no matter the clipless or platform pedal you’re spinning.
Do I need longer pedal axle?

How do I know what size spindle for my pedals?
If you want to know your bike pedal size you can check the width of the thread with a set of digital callipers. Alternatively you can ask the manufacturer of the crank or you can take your bike to a local bicycle service repairs / local bike shop and ask them to clarify the pedal thread size needed.
