  1. Speedplay. First Tyler; now Floyd. I noticed more power climbing when I
    switched to Speedplay this year.

    Which part of your anatomy was affected ?

    I like 'em and have been using them for about 12 years. I can't say that I can
    climb any better because of them though. I was [censored] going uphill before, and I still
    am.

    He was using kenacort.

    Well, it would explain the speed increase,

    Is that made by the same company that make Kewin pedals?

    I decided to try them, having used Look for years. I do like the Speedplay
    and it does seem that I get a more efficient pedal stroke. Maybe that's
    because the shoe is closer to the spindle. I may give the Time RSX or Keo a
    try on my other bike when the present Looks wear out. I still suck on
    hills.

    I like the completely free rotational float. The small amount of spring tension
    on the Times I had seemed to irritate my knees. I also like the low stack height,
    and I plan to modify my Carnac shoes to eliminate the adapter plate, making it even
    lower. The two sided entry is also pretty nice.

    Do they have testosterone patches on the cleats?

    Morning had broken. I found a rather battered tube of Araldite
    resin in the bottom of the toolbag.

    I have the Zero. Tried the X but didn't like the free float. I'm using
    Specialized shoes which are a perfect match for the pedals. The entry is
    indeed sweet.

    I think there's an optional footbed that holds a patch under the ball of the
    foot.

    Try stacking the Speedplays with either testosterone or blood.

    They gave me tendonistis in the ankle. But I've bee more than happy with
    the new Time pedals.

    I got some Specialized myself a few months back and I'll never go back to
    Sidi, most comfortable shoe I've ridden in.

    Presumably you must have found a work around the podium girl mini skirts
    then.

    You use scrotal patches as cleat wedges ? Presumably having a ball
    size imbalance must be the result of the LiveDrunk(tm) lifestyle.

    Just shows. I have Specialized Body Geometry shoes and also (lots of)
    SIDIs. I /hate/ the Specialized - I'm not sure whose body has that
    geometry but it's nothing like mine. I love my SIDIs.
