Those shoes turned out really nice. I feel the addition of Manon's name gives the shoes just a touch more of a "custom" feel.

I rode with the Bostrom brothers who liked to give their mx boots a fresh coat of gold paint. I could see some paint on sponsorship on the legs especially calves or a message to my competitors. Black is my jam,,,Sean Kelly,,Eddy Merckx. Peace on earth and ocean

I do wish Manon would have gone for a dragon on those shoes but they look awesome with those colours! Manon definitely got a second career as a custom painter should she want to!

Ditto on the dragon, but still a cool looking pair of shoes.👍

Manon did an amazing job, considering she has never used an airbrush (according to the pro's comment). He was very informative and helpful, fun video to watch!

These shoes work with the Peloton bike+ (April 2022), kzfaq.infoUgkxGPkov2mNjgZfG33r6Bwvies8jKE4AKZB and are of good enough quality. I have completed 10 rides so far and there are no issues. The first time trying to fit them on the Peloton bike took 10 minutes (even with the help of an experienced cyclist friend who wears the same type of cleats). It took a couple of rides to break in. After the first two rides there were no issues at all.

#askgcntech. Hi gcntech (everyone included). Have a question about cranksets. Which would be faster? A 1. 50/34 or a 2. 52/36? If you do a sprint would 1. be faster if you have short sprint. How much further would you get with 2. given that you pedal at 180 watts? Maybe a stupid question but maybe subject for a test 😁

I am not feeling the paintjob , i like the heel area which is metallic , but the second colour doesn't look very good. Maybe in in person it looks better and "pops". Was hoping for a cool logo of some kind!

@SergioCristancho Жыл бұрын

ok I get it... BUT ... how about a different approach, some if not most of us have a good but old cyclig shoes... try not to use airbrush because you don't have one and must of us don't have one... DIY project to give a pair of shoes a 'second life' by repaint. but basically let's drop the fancy stuff and get messy and clumsy see where we get then.
