Thought we would give Look a break and switch gears. We like this web page showing our FFMD (Fore Foot Measuring Device) and our original goniometer off the bike.

Check it out. If you are looking to spice of your web site this one is cool to see.
Colorado Mutli Sport has been a customer for a long time. We would like to say thanks for the support.

Keep LOOKing even at other pedals like Shimano and Speedplay

More marks on the inside - but is this exclusive to LOOK. Nope, you will find this on others as well.

Shimano road is made from tougher material and may not show it as easily but you will find this. Speedplay may show it on the sping in an X series pedal and inside the circle of the cleat on the base plate. Just as with LOOK the wear marks will be more often near the outer edge.

Remember to check out George Hood who is still pedaling. World Record in progress for Gunnar Hotchkin Memorial Fund http://www.ustream.tv/channel/hood-s-guinness-world-record-attempt  Don’t forget to send him a note – info on the link above.    Host facility – http://www.urbantrigear.com/

World Record in progress for Gunnar Hotchkin Memorial Fund

BikeFitter Bernie Conway called me this morning about a cyclist with some knee discomfort/pain but he is in the middle of his ride…..a world record attempt.

Outer knee discomfort – one look at this video and an immediate suggestion came to mind. What do you think we suggested? Watch him pedal live now.

As of our last look we have not seen the change but we will see if he eventually give the suggestion a try.
In the mean time we want to wish George Hood all the best in his attempt and fund raising efforts. Don’t forget to send him a note – info on the link above.

LOOK - under the front toward the inside

A small wear mark. Are you looking here to see the uneven wear?

Pedals can tell a story.

In all bike fits you should check for wear, particularly wear on pedals. On Keo pedals one place to check is  the bottom. Rotate the pedal and look under the front area of the pedal. You will usually notice wear toward the inside. See the gray area on this left black Keo pedal.

Why? Most people have a varus fore foot and the inside of the foot is higher than the outside of the foot. When you clip in this natural tilt is forced flat but the foot likes to fight back a bit to try and be more in its natural position – result on the pedal is usually a wear mark of some sort that shows the foot is not in its desired position.

This particular pedal and many others like it show the need to add a wedge. A more even wear is desirable at this area when you do a bike fit.
