I thank Keen for making I thank Keen for making clipless sandals, but it's puzzled me for a while that they make us do all that rubber trimming to make SPDs work near the back of the adjustment slots. After two pairs, I'm getting good at it. -Dan

Jeremy, here's another frame Jeremy, here's another frame for the expected advantages of clipless pedals. You like the ability to shift your feet for comfort, but I hate the necessity of having to locate my feet on the pedals. There is a certain amount of attention and muscle involved in...
