Stu, Rob, Aodan Simon etc ... CX team champs 10th Feb?

Are you thinking about starting racing? Ask about future events in here, find out what you can expect at them and who else is going so you can scrounge a lift off someone rather than riding the 30 miles to get there yourself!

:lol: dont worry grahame i wouldnt do that. i dont think it is the position of the cleats. its just a small target to hit when trying to get clipped in, also i cant feel when im in the right place. would it be ok to swap cleats and pedals, you wont be a offended will you? :lol:
sylv did mean shimano pedals and cleats together?

I know MTBs are ok, it was the disc brakes I was wondering about; I thought they were illegal in CX. I guess it only applies to UCI events!

Ah yes I forgot you were on borrowed shoes, but yes I did mean swapping the cleats - if Unc' Grahame doesn't mind of course. Is it something you'd be able to do yourself - did you fit the cleats yourself on your road shoes?

there used to be a feature on readers' bikes on the old londoncyclesport website, one of them was a Trek mtb converted to a cyclocross bike for the london x league, it had 700c wheels and disc brakes. Steve Hambling's bike it was.

Stu I have the pedals and cleats with me, they should fit in a jersey backpocket.

I'll see if I have time to get home and take the road bike to do the whole chaingang, but otherwise i'll go to CSS on the mtb and see you there.

Stu,
I'm fine with you changing the cleats. Just be aware that if it's a "target size" problem, the Shimano pedals are about the same size as the Time pedals.
