Efficency in cycling shoes
Ok its an obvious question here but.
Why do you get more efficiency in a pair of hard sold shoes vs a pair of shoes that flex? After all your leg is pushing downwards motion right? Is energy lost in the flexing of the shoe?? How does the energy transfer work and what's the physics behind it??
I just bought a pair of carbon soled MTB shoes (Diadora Ergo MTB shoes) my old pair was a pair of Cannondales, they flexed a lot especially when you stood up in the pedals. But when I stood up for the first time in the carbon soled shoes - geez the energy transfer was awesome!
New Pogo Stick
How pretty is this[1]?
You remember they 'split' the 135mm Jekyll into the 110mm Rush and 140mm Prophet? Now it appears they have 'split' the Prophet into the 130mm Rize (above) and 160mm Moto.
Nice scenary on ths preview too:

Chain breaker?
Offers of advice, tips, experiences, leads, or guidance about small, portable chain tools appreciated? I need something for the trail that is light, small and strong. The last one I used snapped mid-race during the Wannaride 8 1/4hr.
All suggestions welcome.
