This isn't scientific or anything.Brian Peterson said:
Seems like most shoe sizes fall in the 9-12 size area with lessening amounts out to 15-16 or 6-7's etc
I am a 10ish, depends on the shoe...sometimes I am 10.5 But if the show is wide enough I can fit a 9.5.
10-12 seem to sell out first.....
as i said didnt read the thread...mandown said:
you said you did not read the "whole" thread. i guess you took the pulp fiction approach. you started in the middle, and jumped around a bit only to find the beginning and then arrive at the end.manhattanprjkt83 said:

They normally do not fall apart sitting in your closet.bizutch said:
Since I have been trailriding in mine now too, they are past dead.
I did not know the new SPD launch models had a sticky sole.

Actually, I might be wrong. I checked the website and the Launch and Dually come in SPD but it doesnt mention if they are taki or not. hmmmmmmmmmm

WHOA! Where the hell have you been?:hot:RhinofromWA said:
any idea how well the taki works relative to the 5.10 compound? is it the same rubber? the tread patern is different. i like the look of the 661 tread more than i like the 5.10. without having ridden either, i would think if they used the same rubber, the 661 would stick better.Kanter said:
I was wrong. Here is an email right from 661 that I received this morning.
Both the Launch and Dually SPD versions do not
use the Taki sole. The rubber
compound is not as soft with the SPD models.

I am co-sponsored by Sixsixone, just so you know. I have ridden the Dually Taki for a few months and I have to say they are great. Not as much of a problem with sole wear as it does not have protruding knobs like the other company's shoes. It has a less aggressive sole pattern yet it is still that sticky soft rubber that grips so well. In comparison, it allows you to move your foot around easier. An amazing set-up when paired-up with Atom Lab pedals. The in-tongue lace stash pocket is an awesome idea too.mandown said:
Nope. I just wanted him to know that I was a 661 rider and to take that into consideration. Don't want to look like one of those marketing/sponsored guys hailing their products but acting like they carry a neutral opinion. 
But if Atom Lab wants to throw some schwag my way, I'll take it. Hehehe.

Got me a Suzuki RM 250 that has taken me back into my roots of trail riding/racing(Harescrambles, desert mostly)
Most of my time on bicycles revolves around commuting.
I post once in awhile though.
Hey Kanter...it's understandable b/c when the SPD versions originally came out, the website listed the SPD versions as having the sticky rubber option on the high top model. You were right to think so.
heh...jsut met a guy who's back on MTB after deciding to go back to moto and doing hare scrambles (lots of pins and rods later he's reconsidering).RhinofromWA said:*Rhino looks over shoulder*
