I'm on it

The question is, have you hit the subscribe button and notification bell?

As mentioned, I have yet to the see 4% increase in my HM PR as of yet... but I have snagged a bunch of Strava segments because of them!

I modified my camera mount and I think it will work. I think this might be my best Zwift race/group ride showing ever! Got a top 5% finish
(17 out of 330), an FTP bump from 341 to 348 and a kudos from GP Lama himself!

Life is good!

I support your R&D. I too made carbon plates for shoes once. Used tape to secure to feet for sprints. They were faster than sprint spikes. :)

To the naysayers, a lot can be learned from one-off shoddy testing. If there are improvements in performance with haphazard design, it points to bigger improvements with optimization.

It was this precise haphazard method of testing the limits of things that led me to my current expertise in fueling training.

@JYoung, keep doing your thing. Just watch out for stress fractures with homemade stiff-soled shoes. ;)

Amen. A college essay about blowing up your kitchen isn't the worst way to get Purdue's attention.

My first pair of Zoot shoes back in 2010 had the plate and since then I've had more than a dozen pairs with the carbon. I like them because I overpronate and it helps with stability. But at times agree it feels like a ski boot. Actually just got out my last pair of Ultra TT 7.0s as I bought several when they went on sale for $35 years back. I still like running in them but the plate doesn't provide any speed on it's own.

and well that is why the massive price drop, which i got suckered into. these shoes destroy my feet

I got some foam lined up and have a plan for carbon sole v2.0

Going to have two plates with a shared pivot point sandwiched over foam. Top plate go back half way to heel, bottom plate go back to ball of foot. I have same HM as last test coming up 5/29, standby. should probably start running block ASAP.

In meanwhile found hack to win Tour of Watopia race/groupride. Eat small steak dinner 38 min before race.
