Rama Douglas Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I believe I've found the answer to all the foot fatigue issues. Makes so much sense now why most of the pedals are for smaller feet...we need to revert back to Chinese foot binding so our feet fit within the pedals... 😜https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_binding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how long it will take to get my size 13 down to a size 6 pedal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends. What size hammer will you be using? I recommend a 14lb sledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That "one size fits all" idea doesn't wash when it is placed against varying foot/shoe sizes. Even in his video, the ball of that shoe is completely off the pedal. Good luck staying on, or even feeling safe, and don't even start talking about braking force., or the lack thereof. Alternately lifting the feet, now that does work.

yuweng Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Haha, our logical mind & EUC experience tells us its crap & doesn't make sense i was skeptical too, however, being a newbie i'ld try anything, as mentioned, it does require a few practice to master & after that, it becomes second nature, just as we ride our EUC. No more sore feet even after a very long ride without stopping, this technique really does work, try it out & you'll know Having said that, there are indeed pros & cons, you'll find that out yourself after you master it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yuweng Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Of course that biggest load of crap that you mentioned (first part of video) Matthias AKA EUC GUY's video will tell the cons or it might be a pro for some who likes it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrelwood Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Simon’s video is age old, and his wheel has extremely short pedals. Not saying the regular ones today are long enough for large feet, but leveling the back of your shoe with the pedal will not push the ball of your foot past the front of the pedals anymore. The most comfortable position is to each his own, but it is indeed common for beginners to stand too far back. It will cause foot fatigue a lot faster.
