Minion Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Specialized BG Road Carbon - R1200 two years ago. Purchased based on the price and good sales pitch (this was in my pre-Hub days). Fortunately I've subsequently found them to be very comfortable and, looking back, it was a good buying decision.
turtlek Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Louis garneu not only is it a custom mouldable shoe but it has the bling factor and a really stiff sole at a much more reasonable price than the shimano mouldable shoe
ASTANA Posted September 30, 2008 Author Posted September 30, 2008 I was keen on buying SIDI's but after I saw the new BG shoes from Specialized I'm confused. I want to buy something desent that will last for a couple of years. The BG fittet shoes will help to improve my pedal stroke to support my knee

ASTANA Posted September 30, 2008 Author Posted September 30, 2008 What do you think about this Body Geometry Fit tecn from specialized? Go to www.specialized.com/bg looks pritty impressive, but think other shoes of same price range will work just as well or not??

wisecrack Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Having just bought a pair of 2008 Specialized pro road shoes I recommend them highly. Coming from a size 44 cheap Olympic shoe with Velcro straps to Specialized I wondered to my self why I haven't spent the cash the first day I started cycling. The Spez shoes fit me 100% better in the same size and has eliminated the hot spots I felt after about an hour in the saddle. Also more importantly the pain I had in my left knee is now completely gone. This could have been due to incorrect cleat position ,but I can now easily do a 100km ride without any pain what so ever. IMO it's the best money I spent so far on an upgrade. wisecrack2008-09-30 17:16:16
