Has anyone else had issues with how far back you can move the cleats on your clipless pedals? I have Nashbar brand road shoes that have slots where you can move the receiving hole plate where you screw in the cleat, but the plate doesn't move far enough back for it to be comfortable for my left foot. It must be some kind of weird anatomic issue, but my left foot has to be further forward on the pedal than my right (right foot is fine). It probably goes back to some ankle sprains and achilles tendon issues I've had in the past. It feels like the pressure is too far forward, like between my toes and ball of my foot. When riding platforms, I usually have the center of the pedal about half an inch back from the ball of my foot. I feel I get a good combo of power and stability with this position.
Anyways, has anybody tried lengthening the slots rearwards on their clipless shoes? I tried doing it with a dremel but there's a metal plate underneath the plastic that I can't grind down. I know Speedplay has an adapter to move back the slot, but I'd like to stick with my shoes and pedals. All I need to do is mount that cleat further back, and I'd be golden.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
