Like them! Today I rode my Sam with Catalysts for the first time. Thoughts:
- They're huge - Had to lower my saddle and move it fwd about 2cm - Takes some getting used to. I played around until I found a foot position I could keep. - Once I got used to them, I felt I could output more power. Hips, butt, and upper legs were more engaged than on my smaller Shimano Saint platform pedals, which I rode using a more ball-of-foot traditional style. Standing up and pedaling felt extra powerful with less effort - I had no foot arch nor ball of foot pain after my ride. With traditional pedals and ball-of-foot style pedaling, I could always count on a little bottom-of-foot pain. I wear running shoes with upgraded stiffer insoles when I ride. - Toe strike is an issue on tight turns. I imagine this is not the pedal to get if you're making a lot of turns. Not a bother to me since I was on a paved greenway with few reasons to turn sharply On Friday, December 8, 2017 at 1:06:03 AM UTC-5, Lum Gim Fong wrote: > > Thinking of trying them when they come out again in polished silver. > Wonder if the blue color matches a Rambouillet. > > 1.
