Filing cleats for more fore-aft

[ghammer]

Hello,

I recently purchased a fantastic pair of shoes that fits amazingly and is very good looking (sidi shot).

The *only* drawback is that the drilling setup doesn't allow for more movement on the cleats. I like to ride with the cleats closer to the center of the shoes, and i can only go so far.

Granted, this is not a big deal but a 99% fit is not a 100% fit (duh).

I was wondering if it's ok/safe to file the cleats' slots. It'd be a 2-3mm, i'd measure carefully so as not to take too much material. Has anyone ever done this? Were the results satisfactory?

Any info is welcome.

Thanks,

G
