	Hey Joel! I've got an extra pair of Beezers (remember these? They went the way of the Dodo a few years ago and no one's picked up the patent as far as I know)....

	Just got back from Oxford Ohio (home of Miami University). In the bike shop (small town, only one), there were four used Schwinns for sale - all with stem...

	... I'm wondering what kind of pedaling makes this true for a person. When I switched from clips/loose-straps to clipless, my performance went way up, esp. on...

	... Not even mini-clips? I can live without straps. But I need something to keep my foot from sliding off the front. That having been said, I have been riding...

	... I suspect the "trick" is that marketing folks have convinced folks they should attach their feet to pedals to make them better. There still are two more...

	... It's working for me, as far as I've been able to tell, so it's not all BS. ... Is this a universal truth? Or is it that the shoes you've tried don't work...
6102		sfrance	Apr 3, 2006 6:50 pm
	... all BS. ... Working is relative... ride 300-350 miles in a day and the places you come in contact with the bike become excutiatingly obvious. Need to hop...

	I've been wondering this myself. Unlike most people my age whose first "serious" cycling was BMX mine was on a road bike with clips and straps. When I did try...

6105		periwinklekog	Apr 3, 2006 8:58 pm
	This morning, I finally finished setting up the P/R proto as a dop-bar'd bike. Since I cannot solve the stem-shifter issue myself, and will have to wait for...
6106		Jason Cloutier velo59	Apr 3, 2006 9:51 pm
	How about using a downtube shifter clamp (1 1/8") on the threadless steerer and adapting the cable guides from a stem shifter to properly route the cables? ...
6107		Jason Cloutier velo59	Apr 3, 2006 9:56 pm
	For me, wide, flat pedals are the only option. I have a very wide (EEE), pronated feet. I cannot find any type of comfortable pedal retention system. BMX...
