Anybody here rides real track shoes with a cleat? As I'm training hard on my keirin bike I think the next step would be keirin shoes, so I can pedal more efficiently. I won't go clipless though, I'm in Japan, and I wanna train and race like the keirin guys do. Besides, in Japan track racing is pretty much only keirin. It's just stupid to stick clipless pedals on a keirin bike.
The keirin shoes cost a lot, just because they're rare. I have Nike Ventoux Plus road shoes though. Here's the sole:
Can I buy track cleats like
these ones and put them on my shoes? I use MKS Royal Nuevo Pedals with MKS steel toe clips.
But the thing is I'm gonna train on the road as well (with a front brake, put via clamps). I think it will be 50/50 road and velodrome. What do you think, is that dangerous to ride track shoes on the road? I think I'm just gonna loosen straps a bit while on the road.
