Hi,
On this forum I read a lot about knee and back pain which often comes from pedal/cleat positions.
I was wondering if these problems were so common when cyclists used straps to attach themselves to their bikes? Has the fixed clip in pedal, even with their various float and wedging capabilities like the speedplay sytem which I use, not just created an industry of fixes and therapies?
I was thinking of going 'old school'. Having only tried straps before wearing sports shoes, is there a particular kind of shoe you can get? Maybe you can just remove the cleat from a modern shoe? How do you set this sytem up to be 'pain free'. I already use a wedge and a shim in my right shoe.
Cheers
