Oh yeah. I was 80% to mid-foot pedaling anyroad, so I lowered my saddle by
3-4mm after trying it as is and feeling my hips have to reach a wee bit.
With abandon,

John, I did not lower the saddle anything like 3cm. Maybe half that. I
eyeballed the change, which probably came out to about a half-inch.

Great point, John. The closest analog to how to the foot works in cycling
is squats. I may try riding barefoot again with these pedals (though the
gaps are big, which may be problematic). For the last several years I've
been riding in Xero Z-Trek sandals, so I keep all pins in.
Hi,
Thanks Patrick & Jay for sharing your set up. Do you remember if you
needed to lower your saddles as much as the 2-3 cm's PI recommends? Less?
And Patrick, did you remove the pins so you could go barefoot?
Thanks Garth, but most of my shoes have flexible soles, so I'd like to
If you accept the developer’s research, then pedalling midfoot is not entirely
the point. It’s a matter of applying the “lifting” force from more of the foot.
If memory serves, he says the benefit will come only if the force is applied
from either side of the arch. Whether you accept his

The only things that will make a significant difference in speed are legs,

To expand on my previous post: I don't track milage or mph or time. I just
ride. What I do notice is if I'm in a higher or lower gear on a given
section. A myriad of factors effect this, starting in greatest significance
with the state of the engine. Am I more tired and thus going slower with
No question that I’m just as slow with the Catalysts. Seat comes down, yes.

Any increase in average speeds with Catalysts?

Probably depends on the length of the rider’s foot. The catalysts are designed
to bridge the entire arch of the foot. It works even with my huge feet,
removing the concentration of pressure from the ball of the foot. According to
the hype on the Pedalling innovations page, optimal efficiency
would grip kings do the same thing as catalyst?

I have these pedals on my Joe and really like them. It took a few rides to
adjust to riding with the foot more forward, but now I don’t even think about
it, even though I have these on only one of several bikes. I bought them
because flats cause me hotfoot on rides of more than about an hour.
Yes. I've got a pair on y Hunqapillar. I haven't been able to ride much
this week, which has been torture beyond normal because of the amazing
autumn Scottish weather we've been having. I was thinking of posting some
initial thoughts, so I'll give it a go here.
They are wondrously long and
