After having some shoe problems last weekend and seeing a Charles Ouimet video on YouTube about shoe tightness effect on sprinting power i did some tests today. Shoes normal vs tight and i gained almost 10w on a 2min climb and 15w on a 30 second climb and about 30w on a flat 30s sprint. I did 2 normal and 2 tight for each effort all out of the saddle. Definitely worth a try.
