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 try a longer pedal to support my soles. The MKS Grip Kings are 78mm wide x 116mm long vs the Catalysts which are 94mm wide x 127mm long (my measurements). So far I like the spikes and the extra support provided by the Catalysts. Riding faster doesn't really interest me right now versus recovering, staying alive and just having some fun on my Hunqapillar.
I've been undergoing physical therapy, part of which involves doing dead lifts & squats, after recovering from a retoperitoneal hematoma and hospital-acquired infection. It was the idea behind the Catalysts which interested me, and I wanted to see if biking using the Catalysts would work in sync with my other exercises. So far, I agree with Patrick & Jay, the larger platforms are really comfortable and fun to ride on.
Anyone else trying the Catalysts?
Thanx,
John Phillips
