My long time riding buddy & adopted younger bro. TJ & i got another test & tune ride in on tuesday evening. Both of us had made minor changes to our bikes or equipment, so we rode hard but had to make a few stops to adjust things. Several stops are uncommon for us (except for TJs normal first 1/2 mile seat adjustment- how it always needs raised/lowered is beyond me??) It turned out to be the evening of the shoes. Yea both of us finding ourselves sitting on the side of the trail making adjustments to our cleats. TJ had also installed a new chain on his Rig and this rolled the bottom bracket up which caused his seat to be a little low. I had just unboxed a new pair of the Bontrager RXL mtb shoes and needed to fine tune the cleat position. These shoes were fantastic right from the time i strapped them on my feet. And who would’ve thought that a white shoe would still be clean after a 25 mile ride in PA during March? Well they were!  My only concern now is if i can pull off the all black kits we got with white shoes? I’m a little afraid of being classified as a ghettobilly & i’m nervous about being able to properly ghetto pimp this look. Yea i used ghetto a few times here but you would understand if you lived where i do! Now stop wasting time laughing at me and get a pair of these shoes and do your own pimpin.
