Cleat position - Whats your theory?

[jo.k]

Somewhat related -- what pedal system will allow for the most aft placement of the cleats? I recently got a pair of the Bonty RXXXL shoes, and these, in combination with the yellow Shimano cleats, will not allow placing the cleats as far backwards as I would like to.

Sorry, did not think of checking this prior to buying the shoes. Didn't have any issues with this on my Giro shoes, neither on my two pair of Spesh nor my Northwaves.

Maybe I should try to expand the holes in the cleats ... But I will do this very reluctantly.

Speedplay certainly offers adaptor plates to facilitate this... I'm not aware of any such device for shimano, or other pedal systems... I use them myself...

Also, if u need to correct a leg length discrepancy, Steve Hogg sells an extender plate that's 8mm thick (ie has 5mm of shim)

I'm actually going to try moving my cleats forward from 20mm behind ball of foot to 11. I rode 20 this entire road season and didn't notice any positive gains, but my snap had greatly decreased.
