It almost seems like they aren't a true cycling shoe and rather maybe a reinforced shoe geared to walking as well as riding (maybe the sole is not as stiff?) LOL .... these guys, Shimano have been making the shoe you described for decades already! cfcjim, patches, MTBRIDER1234 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must have also been so embarrassed to be on a Shimano drivetrain vs a SRAM one. WIN WIN DieselnDust and MORNE 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found a note on the floor next to mech saying something ‘clique’ something ‘prejudice and black cassettes matter’ something ‘odd one out’ something ‘no appreciation’. i agreed mostly with everything it said so i’m not looking a gifthorse in the mouth on this one. 😅 Hairy, Rolf Hansen and DieselnDust 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfcjim Posted August 12, 2022 Share Cyclists seem to be the most gullible of all. Put (insert favourite discipline here) specific on the packaging and some poor (rich) soul will pay the inflated price. Then wax lyrical on how much better it is than the previous incarnation. Marginal gains eh? Or placebo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marginal gains eh? Or placebo... not just cyclists add "for baby" on any product and you can easily double the asking price. Same as adding "wedding" to the product name.
