Hi, I am an old time Bacchetta team member and I am sorry to see the team support disolve from team Bacchetta. Hey the Agio got bike of the year from Brol. But...
Over the holidays my wife and I had been in SE Cochise county in Arizona checking on our property and vacationing. Think it was Saturday Jan 30th that we were...
Hey grumpy Aero man It isn't really necessary to have an Official Bacchetta Racing Team at large in order to ride your own Aero, try it and see. Heck, it...
Hi my name is thomas and i like the speed of your stade . The look, and the price, but im worried about my feet being down at lights and starting up again...
Thomas, Welcome to the group. You didn't mention how tall you are or what your Xseam measurement is. A Strada with a Euroseat would be your best choice. The...
Or...dispense with cleats altogether and using platform pedals. This message has been brought to you by the good people at PADD. <People for the Advancement of...
... Hard to keep your feet on the pedals and spin that way. Once you develop a spin, it's hard to use platforms as you keep pulling your feet off. -- Mark...
... I'm pondering platform pedals, so I have more range of foot placement. I don't tend to pedal one-footed, but I do rest my feet when coasting, and I do...
I ride a Strada, the following represents my experience in town dealing with traffic controls. For short commutes in heavy traffic, doing without clips is...
... This is not very sexy but neither am I ;-). I never have a problem using old BMX Beartrap Pedals coupled with Power Grip Straps. Just get on and ride. ...
They have those pedals that have both, that might be your best compromise for now, that is what I have on my Giro. I have gotten pretty good at track standing...
... I gear down and keep my right foot clipped and the right crank at 12 o'clock or slightly closer to me. Makes for easy starts. I also do one foot drills on...
I like to put my feet down at stops and I've gotten into the habit, good or bad, of pushing off with my feet and swinging them up to the pedals to start. I...
I mounted a set of the forte' ATB lightweight from Performance bike on my Corsa. They are thinner and lighter (260 grams) and have sealed bearings than most of...
... Wellgos are like 10-15 bucks. :) They're what I put on the kids BMX bikes. Anyway, one thing Charlie Dwyer mentions is energy used to keep your feet on...
... The pedals I have now are platform one side and cleat the other, the platform having a sort of serrated edge. But the platform pedals I am thinking of are...
I am riding my corsa in a brevet series and I am having a hard time getting good nutrition during the rides. They are getting longer and I am not sure peanut...
Concerning clipless pedals and my Giro, I like more float than is offered by SPD. I tried Speedplay Frogs but I had an awful time trying to unclip quickly and ...
... It depends on why you had trouble unclipping quickly and easily from the Frogs. Was it a matter of force required? Or that you can release only to the...
... The people who use platform pedals with pegs that engage in the tread say this isn't a problem but I too am dubious I want more foot position on the pedal...
Skip Hello from St. Louis. I'm the Regional Brevet Administrator for this region, and I too ride a Corsa. I’ve done a full Super Randonneur Series (200,...
Lots of times it's figuring out what works well for you. There are good ideas out there from experienced people so I'll add my two cents as to my big ride...
I can't help but wonder if those without cleats are putting much push and pull on the pedals. Admittedly, if you are coasting along, and not racing, cleats...
Hello, Hammer nutritions Perpetuem is what I use for my rides over 2 hours. I get mine from Mark Powers at Power on Cycling 813-737-3001 He carries Hammer...
... It's all about efficiency. You can't pull with your foot if it's not attached to the pedal somehow. I don't know about you, but I don't hop on my bike to...
... Yeah, but once you get to where you lift or pull because you're running clipless all the time, it's harder to spin on platforms. I try to sprint with...
Let me try this again. Or...dispense with cleats altogether and use platform pedals. This message has been brought to you by the good people at PAPP. <People...
