I have 6mm spikes in at the moment...I've never tried any other length on the track though...actually I have only recently started using my spikes anyway.

Unless you mean what make and model, well in that case I have a pair of Nike something or other that were given to me for free and they aren't exactly a perfect fit. I've got a few other pairs that were given to me as well but none of them seem to fit very well.

What's you're shoe size for normal Nike running shoes compared to the spike.

I also wear Nike SomethingOrOthers - a good spike IMO.

Should be about 8 ½ - 9, most of my trainers are Asics DS Trainer and I've only one pair of Nike Air Zoom's - I think they are 8 ½.

Well they are quite old and but seem fine to me.

Now not sure if I can make it. I need to go and get my bike from Evans, and Saturday afternoon is the only time i can go. Maybe I should go to the Mile, and then off to Waterloo...

100m was defo a great event at the East Midlands mile :-) http://www.fetcheveryone.com/mile.php

Interesting about the use of spikes, I'd only recently moved house and found a pair that I had when I was at school (cheapo £20 in JJB at the time) 10 years ago, which just about fit, so I stuck them on for the 100m and they weren't too bad! Well just about good enough to let me win...
