dean at r7 pointed out to doof that, in the shoes where nothin hurts, the cleats are "toe in" slightly. in the shoes that made doof's knee hurt, the cleats were dead on straight.
aha
makes sense -- doof's ugly flat feet tend to point out, and the "toe in" cleat placement, combined with the float in his Time pedals, counteracted/corrected that, so that his feet actually point where they should when he pedals...digging out some old Sidis revealed that, back in the toe clip days, yep, his cleats pointed in a little bit (the Fit Kit cleat align thingie...that was when fitting was cool)....
so
on mtb shoes, is there any way to angle the cleats in? some jerk x-acto trick?
doesn't look that way, but hey, what do I know...but if doof can't "toe in" those cleats, his knees are gonna keep hurting when he rides his goofy fuji...so he might as well ebay the thing if the cleats ain't gonna fit....
