Cool idea...
I tried to discuss something other than the traditional cleat placement method with my fitter, I brought up
this article but apparently any idea that deviates from convention is heretical, nevertheless I'm quite curious because the body isn't as static as the typical limits imposed by fit geometry imply.
OP...I really like the safety of clipping in first and foremost. I don't like the idea of spinning at 100+ rpm, on a good downhill, and maybe hitting some roadchop, and suddenly a foot flies off a platform because of a rather light souplesse due to unweighting the dead leg.
