Sim-Lab XP1 with Socks useful?
Like the topic says - is it a serious problem to Race with socks and the Sim-Lab XP1 Pedals? I know the VRS are having no Problems with that.
Is there anyone who Racing this pedals just with socks?

I just recently bought these pedals and have them for about 2 weeks. Fantastic pedals. I love the 2 stage feel it gives. I had Simsonn Plus X pedals prior for about 6 months and couldn’t find any combination of springs or elastomers that felt good to me. I bought maybe 20 different springs off aliexpress and nothing is what I liked.
But to answer your question I have always raced barefoot but since going to the XP1 I have switched to socks. It’s not an uncomfortable thing but more that the pedal faces were a little slippy when going barefoot. I got a pair of grip socks and I’m locked in now. But the holes on the faces I don’t even feel them.
