You actually polish your riding boots? [&:]




I do too, because they are also my work boots.

i agree with XL OCD!!! foot injuries on bikes are VERY common, and ya do not even have to "hit the hard $hit" for it to happen. unlevel terrain, slip on a wet manhole cover, and two-track riding. one roll of the ankle... he!!, i had a sprain from falling of a structure a few years ago. the doc said it would hurt less, and a quicker recovery time if it had actually broke. [:@]
also, it the $hit hits the fan, and the bike goes unstable, i guess i want a stable platform to land on.....
to each there own. those who choose sneakers or flip flops........ you're more "brave" than i am.

looking forward to the story Dallas!!!

The problem with boots in my situtation is that I cannot get my toe under the shifter lever with some boots, I wear Carolina's(hiking boot) they work for me, pain in the *** to lace up and tuck in the laces, need a zip up boot, and still looking.

The front sole looks too thick on those, for ridingI like a thin rubber sole like this one.

I looked at the shifter lever and didn't see anyway to adjust it, I'll look in the service manual and see if I can adjust for more clearance.

thanks
