• With the expected forecast and me being total shit, should I not bother with my 'almost certainly filled with dirt in minutes' Speedplay setup this weekend? It's supposed to be a race but I think just getting around might be the name of the game and so I'm thinking of flats w/ old skate shoes. 3hrs of it though. Hmm

    Which race? If you mean road speedplays...well, no - that aint gonna work. Frogs or the new MTB ones, yeah of course. But then you wouldn't need to ask...

  • That Thetford 3hr thing I mentioned a while ago is this Sunday.

    Because I ride midfoot, I now ONLY have Speedplay as a proper option and didn't feel like modifying another pair of shoes for one race. Maybe if I decide to race some 24hr MTB events I will have to look at dirt-safe alternatives. Problem is with MTB shoes, the built up bits meant to sit next to SPD pedals are too far forward. If I modded road shoes with MTB cleats they'd rock side to side a bit.
    I thought about modding my old Dominators but seems a bit silly unless I start doing more of this. Anyone want some 47 Mega Dominators?
