Hi All,

I have a pair of the top spec Sidis with Carbon sole. The front has that silly little red plastic part that is now wearing thin and not replaceable like the rear of the shoe. Therefore now means the carbon is now getting damaged at the very front. I want to know if people know of any hack they have done or where I could get a piece that I could try and glue or screw into it, maybe self-tapping screws or plastic dowels and fixed in with 2 part epoxy?

Thanks!

Most of my shoes have lots of pieces of rubber glued onto them to replace lost/worn bits

How did you attach the rubber to the sole? Is that a carbon fibre sole too?

I am fed up with sliding around on the bare parts of the soles,
when using stairs ,
or on rocks carrying the bike across a stream .
I ve been dreaming of using tubs glue to stick a lightweight Vibram sole on there.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
