@z14g2000cwz.googlegroups.com: What does it mean when cycling shoe manufacturers refer to the sole's "stack height"? Distance between the cleat and your foot. Some people think getting their feet closer to the pedal axels improves performance. |

It derives from the way shoe heels were traditionally made, using a stack of slices of leather glued together and nailed in place. Of course, they also may be using the term in some other sense, since these are cycling shoes...and not necessarily subject to any visible logic. -- Typoes are a feature, not a bug.

Personally, I think over much is made of that but some riders obsess over it. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
