Nice find. I used to run a very similar adapter for my SpeedPlay pedals. Forget who made them but they worked great.

Funny, this popped up in my facebook feed and was going to ask if anyone in a cycling FB group had tried them

The SpeedPlay ones are unobtainable, like many other SP small parts. It started right after they were acquired by Wahoo.

Steve Hogg started making some metal/aluminum ones, but they're spendy. I have a set on order.

just curious about why you need them??? Not that some specific athletes may prefer them, but why are they better???

Technique will always last longer then energy production. Improve biomechanics, improve performance.

I've been running the SpeedPlay extender plates for years and still easily available here in Australia anyway. They only go 14mm back but I don't think I would like to go further personally.

Hmmm...for a page with that title, I'm not seeing very much actual science referenced within...

Lol my bad and poor attention to detail. I got a set to put on a new set of shoes the other week from them. Maybe I got the last set they had?

You are right though I just assumed as I got a set the other week they were readily available but seems they are like hen's teeth. Good thing I got mine when I did. It took me a while but I did find some if anyone are chasing them still in the US...

Just a general question on cleat position. But what is the consensus on the relationship between cleat position and toe pointing. The toe pointing doesn't seem to stop even when the seat is lowered unless I'm not giving myself enough time for my body to naturally stop doing it. If that's even a thing

I sent a message to them (mid foot) because there is seemingly contradictory information. On one part of the site it says they are Speedplay compatible but its absent in another section. I asked them for clarification because I am certainly interested.
