So yeah...



...potentially some of the worst signature model shoes made have now been 'updated', but unless the sole is one of the 'updated' parts, what's the point? Seriously. (Edit: Just saw on Defgrip that the soles are apparently 'twice as hard so they should last twice as long'. That'll be 20 rides before they're totally worn out then...)

In a similar vein, unless Tree have managed to make straight-pull spokes that aren't a total hassle to build/true/tighten, then this hub's semi-redundant even if it looks nice:

What's the problem with the lotek shoes? I like the look of them, but i never owned one, so i am curious.

Mine just wore out super quick, and kinda fell apart. After about 10 rides or so, the sole had worn so thin it hurt to ride in them, and the tread was completely gone from the sole. Downer.
