I was reading the fitness QA on CyclingNews and there was quite a bit on Arch Cleats.
I had never heard of these before, but it looks like they have some good and bad points.
Good point - sustain power for longer making you go faster.
Bad point - not good for a kick in a sprint.
Has anyone heard of these or better yet, used them? What do people think? Will this revolutionise cycling??

Soon we'll have heel cleats. I knew that thong wearing octogenarian cyclist was right in his fit.
Given the fact it has positives and negatives, it's a sure sign it won't revolutionise cycling.

What that does is put the logical pivot point inside the foot itself, instead of being below the foot.MountGower wrote:Perhaps when all those people out there realise they are on bikes that are too small for them, this will revolutionise cycling, bringing back a little of the good old French fit to the modern hand stand machine.
Wonder how the release mechanism works?
Back in the late 70's someone built a pair of shoes for track racing that had the pedals built in, ie the shoes were permanently attached to bike.
If the R-1 rule is broken, what happens to N+1?

I like the idea. The hard part will be to demonstrate the robustness of the product and establish some market share. After looking at the company's web site, I don't think it'll dent the market.
