| While on a ride in Raleigh, NC, last month, I asked Shelby
Hayden-Clifton what se thought of Aero lites and got "ok's" and
one other comment. (Other comment from Tom, whom she was riding with.)
After a quite a bit of use the cleat tends to slide outward along
the "pedal" because of some wear on the part of the cleat that's
supposed to prevent such sliding. He said he epoxied something
and it does not happen anymore -- the easy on-off still works fine
however, he did not glue the shoe to the pedal.

| Do not plan on walking with aerolights on, any distance! The
Look cleats have a bottom surface that is better than conventional
cleats to walk on. The aerolights are fragile tubular gizmos that
stick out farther than regular cleats. Suitable for riding, only!
I've tried the look sport (the white ones) and also the ATB
style (the black & yellow plastic non-adjustables) and like each
one. - Chris

| RE: .0
I suggest taking a Fit-kit adjustment (and any other biking advice)
as a guideline only. A Fit-kit setup is something good to try.
Be open to the possibility however that it is not right for you.
(Like if you have knee pain, or lower back tiredness, etc.)

| RE: .3
Is the Aerolite cleat system harsher on knees and/or lower backs
due to its allowing less foot rotation, or is that a general cleat

I know of no cleat system, including conventional cleats, that
are designed to allow for foot rotation.

It seems to me the keeping the foot from rotating makes things EASIER on
you, especially the knees. As far as I'm concerned, this is a FEATURE
(not a bug!) in the cleat systems I've seen. not familiar with the
Aerolite, though.
