any updates on the shoesI just dropped off the molds in the mail today. I am not sure on the mid-foot cleat. I had the worst bike of my life at Texas but unsure how much was acute fatigue, lack of fitness, or lack of adjustment period played rolls. I marked the molds for mid-foot cleats regardless.

What does your foot position look like throughout the pedal stroke? Can CFD even model that (foot angle changes through a pedal stroke) at a "hobby" level?My point is: It's not access to software that is the main problem. It's access to the expertise to use it effectively. Lots of people have the software, far fewer can make effective use of it and produce data of actual value.

CFD in general is not much better than a paint programme when it comes to any sort of complex airflow unless the person using it knows their fluid mechanics (not just rule of thumb stuff) and knows how to select and test the mesh and model type to suit the problem. What a lot of people don't appreciate is that CFD is NOT a full model of fluid mechanics. In order to solve the Navier-Stokes eqns you MUST make assumptions and simplifications. If you have a good understanding of the mechanics you can do this rationally and with some expectation of accuracy. Otherwise, CFD often gives you lots of numbers and pretty pictures but they may bear no more resemblance to reality than a half informed guess.
