Quote | Reply
Please help me before I go mental!
Anybody running a 3-hole (SPD-SL/Look keo etc.) midfoot cleat position? or is this not possible?

Which shoe can support above and please let me know if you have a quick how-to?
Pics would be great. Thanks

you are looking at either a custom shoe or some modification to existing shoes as far as I know. Google search should bring up some modification how to.

One thing I've done is modify the Shimano SPD-SL bolt heads. I took a file and removed material to reduce the circumference of the button head bolt to add an extra 5mm or so of adjustment (I was looking to get them a little farther back). Now it won't necessarily get you to mid-foot but closer depending on your shoe.

My LBS has special bolts inserts that they use to modify shoes. So it does exist out there

old thread here:

My Bonts which are 6-7 years old have a relatively flat base to the sole and allow the cleats to be moved a long way back. Bont actually install the cleat nuts with T-nuts, all you have to do is drill another set of holes further back on the sole and move the T-nuts.
