A phone call

This morning we received a call from Bud Kemper and he wanted to order some cleat wedges to be shipped overnight. Before the end of the chat he mentioned they were for his son Hunter Kemper. I felt a bit uncomfortable for some reason not realizing why I should know this name. Then I realized Hunter is on the new Wheaties box.

We did not charge his dad for the wedges.

Foot/Pedal Day at F.I.S.T

6 cleat fits – Slowtwich compound January 13, 2010
We noted degree of fore foot tilt and then how many wedges were used.
This time we also listed the type of shoe.
Total wedges installed = 18 (17 varus and 1 valgus)
1 Leg Length Shim stack (2 wedges alternately stacked - not included in the wedge count)

Sometimes I am just not sure what to say



I recently asked a bike fitter if he used the FFMD (Fore Foot Measuring Device)


Here is the reply

"I did consider using the FFMD but believe it is too accurate for my needs."
