Yep definitely that element here too Travis. Generally they want to glue them on though.... can't have a steel nail The crowd I was around the day the above photo was taken are generally more pragmatic and just nail them on unless some compelling reason to glue. Some come from BF/boots and sick of the problems, others come from steel shoeing and just looking for something to reduce concussion/puffy joints, training and racing on the roads and hard gravel tracks.
