Hi all

Had my Stealths for approx 8 months and don't ride a great deal, 2-3 times a month if that - the right sole is quite badly damaged and has got a small hole right through to the base plate, using Nano X pedals - is this normal? I expected them to last a bit longer - I can't really see it being a problem with the shoe but I can't afford new shoes every year :shock:

    Which pins have you fitted to the pedals?
    The long pins will rip the sole of the shoes to bits.

    There's the downside of super grippy rubber.
    I know people who get through a couple pairs a year.
    The wear combined with them being made from the most absorbant material known to man are the reasons I'd never buy another pair.

    I am using the large pins so will try the smaller ones, I don't struggle for grip so smaller pins should be ok. Shame as I really like flats now, don't want to have to buy new shoes every year :-(

    my stealth (on impact vxi) was torn apart (3 holes), probably after a month of use of nano-x (they have quite thin pins), or maybe just after a year of using my shoes (don't know)
