I'm a bit curious and not sure if I'm doing it right or if I should correct my technique. When using the pedals most people focus on the brake, but for me the brake is perfectly easy and comfortable. However, the throttle with its long throw is more problematic and I'm not totally satisfied since I moved from my old Sprints to the SRPs. I've been testing with different parameters and combinations: pedals distance, pedals inclination, pedals height, heel rest distance... The point is that I usually see my foot sliding to modulate the throttle. I have a tendency not to rest the sole on the pedal's face but rather the tip of my foot and sometimes I push the pedal (perfectly fine with the brake) instead of using my ankle to rotate my foot. Well, actually, most of the time my footwork with the throttle is a mixture of using the ankle and my knee because the grip of the peda's face make my foot slide and therefore my leg moves too. I don't think that's correct. Part of the problem, I think, it's the pedal face not being slippery enough to be able to slide my sole over it. Now I've moved my heel rest to towards me so as to try to force a fixed position of my foot. Before I wasn't using the heel rest at all. Take a look at this photo, with the pedal fully depressed. My heel is way too back and my foot is not parallel to the pedal's face. Should I try to learn to position my foot differently and modulate the throttle using only my ankle?
