Ok, I'm convinced! I'm looking forward to seeing if it makes a difference in racing on Saturday.
Thanks for this thread!

Interesting! Was your cadence range affected at all? The criticism of the cleats-back position is that it can affect top end speed. When I made the change 2 or 3 years ago, it did feel a little sluggish at first, but I got used to it pretty quickly.
