Baby got some new shoes....no really...shoes!!
 

This is my first proper pair of road shoes...I took a short ride on them yesterday....20 miles....felt stiff...I guess it will take a while to break in..again not sure...

I do really like the Boa closure system....very handy and I like the the fact that the knob is on the back....you pull the knob to loosen and push it in and then turn to tighten..way cool....

No velcro or laces

The BOA closure system....right to tighten the shoes and pull the knob to take off...when you pull the knob it releases all tention.

I will let you know how they do, if you have any questions please feel free to ask...

They should be stiff.

I guess my feet get used to that part....it is very different riding them...I get to do some hills on tonights ride so we will see how that goes...a little longer as well...

starbucks?

How much?

lol

The new sponcer of Discovery yes?

I paid 225 for them...

They should be stiff, this allows the x-fer of power to go into the pedals and not the bending of the shoe. Any flex, be it in your shoe or frame means you're wasting energy (force) into something other than the cranking of the... well, cranks.
I thought the same thing when I got my first pair, but you get used to it, plus it makes you more aware of HOW you are pedaling.
Anyway, its a whole new world to ya and you should enjoy it a lot.

dell inspiron?

just don't were them in hot weather or drag them on the ground, they may burst into flames.

LOL! I thought the computer was a scale at first.

Next time I take a pic I am going to purposely place things in the back ground...lol

Second ride was good....I rode well it must have been the shoes....my right toes felt a little squashed but I am sure I will get used to it...all else was good..

me too

Yikes... that's a little "stiff" (pun intended). I just got me a pair of Sidi Genius 5.5 Carbon for $164. :D

Congrats on the new kicks! I just got my Rocket7's in last week as well, new shoes rule. (I'd mimic your photo with the new shoes, Dell Inspiron and all but I can't seem to find my camera charger. Is that the 17"?)

Yea...I got the biggest LCD I could afford....I like to over buy when I can....now I wish it was smaller and more portable....my next computer will more than likely be a MAC...I will keep this one for compatability issues for a while....

Shoes are still good.....climbing in them was great....

Carbon shoes + Starbucks = OCP.


Yeah BABY!!! :D

I have the same issue, the Dells are heavier than most and it doesn't help that it's a 17" widescreen. I bought it for use with AutoCAD though, so the large screen helps. So much for being a weightweenie

Carbon shoes are the bomb! :beers:
