They have lived a good life. Amazingly I'm not running super fast but I like them.

I'm going to be hanging my pair up on the wall when I'm done with them :-)

Is anyone prepared to sacrifice a new pair on the altar of science by cutting the plate out and sticking it back together again? Lol.

Isn't that approximately what the Pegasus Turbo is, SPR?

Sort of but not exactly V'rap.

The Peg Turbo midsole is 2 layers - the smaller top layer is the ZoomX special foam, but the bigger lower layer is React foam.

The general consensus is that ZoomX on it's own is just too soft and unstable, so either needs a plate, or a layer of stiffer foam to stabilise things

I tried to slice through a pair of my old ZF but found it pretty heavy going and soon gave up when I realized that I'd already seen the carbon plate (I'd worn through to it!) and that there are plenty of deconstruction vids on youtube!

My original VFs have about 500 miles on them now and the plate is just starting to get visible on the forefoot. Almost time for them to get framed on the wall :-)

I've really butchered my Peg Turbos to reduce both the height and thickness of the heel support. There's not going to be a lot of re-sale value in them!!

What you mean really you've worn right through the sole? Or is it just an edge somewhere?
