No problem.
To work with FiveTen shoes in the way some folks have suggested (where the
Stealth rubber and flat shape of the shoe would provide friction to give more
control) the cleat from the Maglock pedals would have to be ~1/2 the height.
In all if it was possible to shrink the height of the cleat and still retain
the same retention and then use shims to customize the height it could make
the cleat/shoe/pedal interface better with any shoe.
The pins don't contact the FiveTen shoe either once the cleat is installed, so
unless if you are going to use them as flat pedals with a shoe sans-cleat they
don't really do anything. Taller pins (preferably not top loading and with
larger heads) or better yet pins with tuneable height, more pins, and
especially if you could engineer some concavity into the system without overly
impacting some float and the very easy release would be awesome.
As I hopefully illuminated in the article I am very pro outside-the-box ideas
and with refinement I would be very willing to try this product again.
As it stands now (again I'd like to see an improved bearing) I can think of
many people I could recommend this product too but with the exception of
physiology requiring ~ infinite float and 100% guaranteed disengagement those
riders would not be riding technical mountain bike trails.
Cheers!
