Duration Product Used:
Less than 1 month
Price Paid:
$55.00
Purchased At:
wiggle.co.uk
Strengths:
360g, rubber coven on the outsole. 3 straps. Well vented
Weaknesses:
Soft sole, cleats bore holes in your feet/my feet.
Smells like hell. Made for thin long feet, my wide feet do not fits well, so I loose the straps a little so now I waste some energy because of that. Don't buy it no matter what.
Similar Products Used:
Answer Speeder
Bike Setup:
I got a lot off bikes 3+ any for different purposes. The shoes was used with hardtail bike with thin tires for better energy efficiency. Pedals: Time ATAC Alium.
Bottom Line:
Don't buy it no matter what. Buy Answer Speeder or Mavic or Lake anything with fiberglass or carbon soles. No soft soles no problems. Too expensive to be put in the trash can. I might make some fiberglass insoles if it helps.

Favorite Trail:
White Clay
Duration Product Used:
Less than 1 month
Price Paid:
$65.00
Purchased At:
REI
Strengths:
Great fit. I have a wide foot and was surprised that these fit like a glove. Great sole and tread pattern.
Weaknesses:
A litle over vented. For colder rides a toe cover is a must.
Similar Products Used:
none
Bike Setup:
Cannondale F7 with Shimano 520 clipless pedals.
Bottom Line:
Great shue with very deep treads. According to the on-line size chart I should be a 45 euro but had to get the 46. Try them on before you buy. If you buy on line look at the sizing chart and go one up from what it tells you. My wife had to do the exact same thing because she got the pearl Izumi for women. This is not a weakness, just be careful of sizing. I paid $65 on sale at REI so I can't complain.
