    Hi everyone.

    I can't seem to get my coker very light but I have made a pair of very
    light shoes for the Lobster Race. They are absolutely great for riding
    in, sticky like toffee and nice and airy. The only downside is the lack
    of padding when you come off (chasing Sam Wakeling uphill at 16mph).
    I've still got a sore heel.

    They started as a pair of track running shoes weighing 200g each. I
    drilled out the threads and had them resoled with 5-10 Dotty Stealth on
    the front half. Have a look...

    Can't wait to see you all - Tue

    Why did you change the soles if the origional shoe only weighed 200g?
    You've added 30g.

    Oh i see, better grip, a very good idea. I was just confused because you
    were on about making your uni lighter. They look cool though.
