They feel great.
They look great.
Such a nice day today. Thought I'd go out for a ride; I've been keeping fit on the trainer so far
this year. I get ready; get the lyrca, find all the tools, food, repump the tyres, etc.
I go out.
As usual, what feels good cleat-wise on the trainer feels wrong when you're outside. Left cleat is
too far forward and the whole leg feels wrong.
Stop.
Remove shoe.
Unscrew front screw of the two holding the cleat in position; feel inner adapter plate fail. Again.
For the sixth time. I bought three new adapter sets about a month ago since I've been trying to get
the cleat position right. Entire adapter sets for that one inner plate, which is cunningly made of
lightweight metal just where something bloody strong and enduring is required. Those three sets are
now used up.
Oh yeah. And the cleat obscures two of the screws - those screws which naturally work loose - which
hold the large plastic adapter plate down. And you shouldn't glue them into place, because you WILL
need to remove that plate when you have to replace that inner metal plate.
Interestingly, you can't contact Carnac. Their web-site gives a postal address only. I have to write
out French cousins an actual letter to
noticed?
shoes if you have SPD-R.
Rant/vent over.
