Transition and MTB shoes
Apologies of this is OT here but it seemed as logical a place to ask
as any. Got a XC duathlon coing up this weekend and am really looking forward to it, albeit it being more like a G race than even a C ! Question is ... given MTB shoes typically have laces AND velcro what's the general approach /advice to transitions? Because of the laces I am currently working on just putting on the shoes, lacing them up, doing up the velcro and heading off to the mount zone... which would take an age. Now given its a very low key race for me, if transition takes an age it doesn't really bother me... but I was wondering if I am missing something obvious here other than just removing the laces and doing a "road bike shoe" transition? cheers didds |

I've not owned a pair with laces for years. If it's a short course duathlon, you could consider using toeclips and riding in your running shoes. Laters. MJ |

But I appreciate the thought process anyway. cheers didds |
