Default Heal and toe setup

Some time ago someone asked about how to arrange the pedals for Heal and Toe. I ordered a customized pedal from ultimate pedals on the internet. The pedal came last night. I installed it with 7 spacers and had them widen it for heel and toe in the original order. The result is very good and makes downshifting very simple (I was driving this AM with dress shoes no less) - easier then my Ferrari which I previously thought had an ideal set up.

Default I wear a size 10. It's all about just adjusting. The only shoes that I have a slight problem with

are very narrow pumas.Even then, you do the more "traditional" heel and toe position and you're set to go.

AlanL taught me how to do heel and toe a year ago by posting pictures. Search for his user name and the dates 8/26/03/-12/31/03 and you'll find good pictures.

Default I find tennis shoes work the best. Well worn tennis shoes...

everything else feels "dead".

Default Instead of heel & toe it looks more like "big toe, little toe"

;-)
