[RBW] How do you like your Catalyst pedals?

2017-12-08 Thread Deacon Patrick
1. How do you like your Catalysts?
Love em.

2. How have they changed your riding?
More comfortable and solid contact with the pedal, fully engaged arch in my 
foot. Result: stronger, more comfortable pedaling on climbs. As other’s have 
noted, they do move the foot forward, and this creates overlap with my front 
wheel, but since going fixed it’s a near non-issue because fixed is so much 
smoother that I needn’t “side steer” because I easily hold a line (straight or 
curved as needed) because of the flywheel effect.

3. Do they make your bike feel easier to pedal down the road?
Down the road? Minimal difference. Up the road? Absolutely.

4. Have they helped alleviate any foot probs you had with regular pedals?
I didn’t have foot problems other than pedaling mostly with the outside of my 
foot rather than my whole foot. It wasn’t a problem, just what was doable with 
the pedals on the market at the time.

Yes, I lowered my seat, by about a half inch.

With abandon,
Patrick

Did you have to lower your saddle?

[RBW] How do you like your Catalyst pedals?

2017-12-08 Thread Palmer
Hi Lum,
Catalyst pedals have spoiled me. After 3 rides on 2 different bikes, I wanted 
them on all my bikes. Now after 20 or so rides, I swap them from bike to bike. 
Totally sold on mid-foot pedals and when I did use other pedals I rode mid-foot 
with less comfort.  Will be selling bike stuff to buy more. My only negative is 
there is toe overlap on a couple of bikes there was not before. I have size 11 
feet and may be a factor. 
Hope you like them as much as I.

Thinking of trying them when they come out again in polished silver. Wonder if 
the blue color matches a Rambouillet.
