It didn't say anything that I haven't seen in any other study. Plus, it goes into zero detail about how those forces were measured.
If I'm pulling up hard enough that I would feel a gap between my foot and the bottom of my shoe (especially with the cheaper shoes I used to have), then I'd call that a wee bit more force than just "dead weight"ing the pedal.
So, anyway... What are you *****ing about in this thread? I thought we were talking about clipless pedals & commuting -- so who pissed in your Wheaties today?
