Title: How to turn My adidas 22yds lites into full spikes?
Post by: patty93 on March 28, 2010, 02:48:16 PM
I recently bought a pair and on the rear part of the sole there are two white rubbers. And on them they say "Cut for spikes use" has anybody done this before? I just don't want to try and cut it and them I'm stuck with a divot in them for the season. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

They weren't mine mate, just did them for a team mate. Could prob get you a photo but not till the season starts. From memory it was pretty obvious what was to be done.

okay, no worries. Did you like cut through them or just try and dig it out sort of thing?

Had to cut them, if you're unsure of where start at the middle and strip away more till you get as far as you need to be.

I got these last year and have the same problem, tried cutting them at the start but it was impossible, not its useless! I figured there was plastic or something on it before hand so left it but if Kulli says you can I'll try again now! lol

Yeah there is a spike hole under there!! :O lol there impossible to get off though, I don't have mine off but I cut through it and can see a place to screw a spike in definitely, cut the spiky bit off (easy enough) then get a small scissors and put one leg in the small hole around the out side and cut (if you get me) lol

Actually, scratch that, all you need is to cut the spiky bit off witch is fairly simple :)
