How the hell does she change gear and use the back brake with those?
I used to drive a car in 5 inch platforms but that's a whole different pot of mackerel.

I have no idea... but she does, Jax on has size 3 feet anyway. Plus with-out those boots on she's on tippy toes riding the bike.

Ahh, the joys of NuRocks if I'm not mistaken.

The brake wouldn't be a problem for me in them, but changing up gears would be! That said I've got adjustable Gilles sets on the Blade that are set so it's fecking awkward for anyone else to ride (but really comfy for me and my wonky left leg!).

Nah - Sidi's for me every time, mainly as they do half sizes so I can get ones that really fit nicely.
That and I like to feel the road/pegs so to speak, an thick soles like that make ne nervous when riding. I used to have some for similar reasons as Jax (i.e. I'm short) but found I was actually more confident being on tip toes yet able to feel what I had my feet on.

Horses for courses I s'pose.

Though I pity her paintwork with those spurs! Though riding a cruiser would make for interesting sparks flying perhaps!

Ah. I wonder, how do you actually go about 'fixing' NuRocks - short of a sole so thick it needs six inch nails to keep it on?!
