Re: SPD Agony!

It sounds like your shoes are too small. Or maybe your pedals, even
though you've gone clipless bent riders tend to pedal less "round"
than wedgie riders and I find a nice big platform around the cleat to
be more comfortable.

That aside, when I first got 'bent I discovered that after an hour or
two with my feet up higher than by butt my toes would go to sleep.
This didn't seem like a big deal as I had spent many long years
conditioning myself so that I could ride a wedgie for hours at a time
and I undertook a similar training regime for my 'bent.  Now I try to
spend at least two hours a day with my feet up higher than my butt
while carb-loading and hydrating.  (yes that would be in a
barcalounger with a cold beer, you bet)
