I've had my R40 for a year now, and I like it now more than when I bought it. Wish all my purchases
were that good. My heart rate is down, my endurance up, my commute time down 10 minutes over my mtn
bike time, when I flex my newly sculpted leg muscles, the ladies say, "My Goodness!" then swoon.
I have learned a lot and made many incremental adjustments over the past year. My knee pain is
largely a thing of the past. Recumbent-butt also. Numb feet gone for the most part.
One area I believe I need to learn about and adjust is my cleat position on my shoes. I use SPD's
on Lake MX201's. On my mtn bike, with toe-clips, I wrongly kept my feet thrust in as far as they
would go, up against the front of the clip. I was accustomed to that position and set my cleats up
as far back on the shoe as I could go to mimic that position. This seems to place them a bit back
of the ball of my foot. In photos it looks like most people put them somewhat farther forward. I
actively solicit comments on this topic. I haven't searched the archives yet.. maybe I should have
done that...
