The shoe shields protecting my Northwave Carbon shoes are almost worn out so figure it's time for some new ones. You know - shoe shields - protection plates that sit between the cleat and shoe to stop crank bros eggbeater pedals damaging the sole of your fancy carbon shoes.

Anyhow - I have some thin aluminum lying around and wondered how easy it might be to make some though.

A quick Google found someone else has had the same idea:

Clipless pedal choice

Hi there

I've got a new bike on order and it doesn't come with pedals so I need to make a choice about what clipless pedal to get for it.

I currently ride using Shimano M520 SPDs and they have worked fairly well over the last year or so. However I seem to be pulling out of these pedals more frequently now even with new cleats and more tension dialled in. Perhaps the pedal mechanism is wearing away?
