• Definitely move them back.
    My achilles/calf issues are aggravated by the slightly forward cleat position I use when riding fixed, or off-road. To avoid overlap.
    On the road bike they are slammed back, and I have zero issues.

    The achilles ages the worse of all Your tendons apparantly. Plus it hates the Cold. As an old man living in Norway, I'm finding my achilles tendons have grown to hate me.

  • giro are tending to place the cleat attachment further back on their mtb shoes, as they have found people are more stable with the pedals more toward midfoot

  • I have epic overlap on my 29er and fatbike. If I move my cleats back my fit issue will be replaced by a broken face issue when I fall off all the time.

    As a short arse I really should just ride a 26" MTB and leave this big/fat Wheel fad stuff to the grown-ups. But its too much fun.
