    Media amnesia and reactions

    Quite a lot of maybes, don't you think TINMAN? Of course there's an editorial policy and of course the story will stop before it gets 'to the roots'. Or where do you think all these successful ex-pros who work in cycling today come from? Is it maybe you who is a little naive?

    Media amnesia and reactions

    Thank you, Bala Verde, that's exactly what needs to be proclaimed: HAPPY DOPING! Only make sure its being performed under the following rules circumstances the author is eager to put forward: "What should be done? Past a certain age, athletes should be...

    'Happy Doping' for everyone skilled to the art as chances never will be equal, nor will men be.

    Another silly pedaling musing from me

    Frank, once again please read this explanation of why and where bio-mxc² - or arch cleats you call it - also works with short cranks when it goes to tackle a climb. For a better understanding see this graph: http://www.biomac.biz/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/biomac-y3_tretpiktogramm-236x300.jpg...

    Midfoot cleat positioning.

    Thanks Alex, that's stupendous. And good to see that you've already been taking advantage of riding a midfoot cleat with your left leg. Like a double World Champion on the road who dominated final bunch sprints using bio-mxc² . Would you calm our curiosity and tell us where you put your cleat...

    Wind Tunnel vs BAT box

    Servus Alex, excuse my surprise. In durinarider's midfoot cleat thread just a mouseclick from here you argue against the obvious effects of bio-mxc² position on aerodynamics and condemm every effort to be "too expensive" and here in this thread you turn out to be an expert on it involved in...

    Midfoot cleat positioning.

    Good to see that we have you back, Alex. It was not my intention to bully you away, so don't mind my language in case it was too hefty, ok? Its just that I hear this kind of talking every day - from those who do not try and like a cobra watch their wattmeters as if they were hypnotised. Almost...

    With all my respect Alex, but don't you feel your fred is a bit off-topic? World-famous long-distance athlete durianrider who got banned from this forum for reasons I don't know initiated this thread informing other forum members about the enormous benefits he got from reknowned positionist...

    Midfoot cleat positioning.

    With all my respect Alex, but don't you feel a bit off-topic? World-famous long-distance athlete durianrider initiated this thread informing us about the enormous benefits he got from famous Steve Hogg's bike-fit and him swapping to SABRE-boots with a position I baptised bio-mxc² and patented...

    bio-mxc² vs traditional - a torque clip Sorry mate, I'll ask my admin to add an English description soon. In the meantime I hope this should do: The clip on http://www.biomac.biz/die-y-serie/tretpiktogramm/ shows (simplified): 1st downstroke phase (positive or pushing zone) the...

    Midfoot cleat positioning.

    Again: 10 or even 15mms may enter the middle third of the bicycle shoe sole and is probably within the zone I claimed and received Paten's Grant for. However, it's got nothing to do with bio-mxc² or arch-/midfoot cleats. The merits for shifting cleats like 15mms further back go to Steve Hogg who...

    Midfoot cleat positioning.

    Thank-you Frank for joining in and thank-you for being the first member of the bike industry who nourishes rumor that the increasing use of arch cleats amongst cyclists could be more than a marketing hype. Who said that its the saddle only which goes down?

    Midfoot cleat positioning.

    42X16ss, reason for this often reported 'downside' is that most cyclist who use mid-foot cleats instinctively ride in a slightly bigger gear because of the beforementioned physical facts. Most of them even use slightly longer cranks and oval chainrings such as BioPace or ROTOR (pos. 4) which...

    Midfoot cleat positioning.

    Before I might get banned as well ;-) a couple of questions 53X11: - Isn't it merely the other way round in cycling, isn't speed meaningless without distance? - Isn't it that when you have more space to apply power to a lever the lesser force you need? - Did I miss out on something? Is it...
