Hi,

The type of footwear and attached may effect things, I don't really know. My ball
feels over the pedal but BTH don't know where it is exactly. I think my foot is
slightly further forward with the stiffer instep shoes I use with toeclips than
the other shoes I use with plain pedals. YMMV, go with what feels right.

rgds, sreten.

I can "jam" my feet into the toeclips, which makes them tighter, but
whatever advantage that has, is negated by my feet feeling too forward.
