So I'm just getting back into riding and the bike I'm using needs a new set of pedals. I had a set of clipless on my specialized before but I also did alot of...
... a ... Duct tape seems to work the best,wrap it around your foot and pedals about 10 times and works great!!j/k i use the egg beaters,easy to clip into and...
I'm a power grip fan myself but that's me. Since you've already used the clipless the transition from road to trail wont be that bad. Loosen the clips for...
You'll have a couple of nasty spills before you figure out how to release without thinking about it, but you'll figure it out and then you'll never worry about...
I vote for eggbeater too. They are easy to unclip and lightweight. I have had a few nasty spills out there at Brooks and on other trails. Some guys have...
I vote for Time ATAC or Aluim pedals. They have a bigger body to allow you to pedal a little better while you are not clipped in. Also they are fairly...
On Dec 2 GHORBA will be holding a free riding clinic for GHORBA members (you can become a member at that time and get in the free clinic) to beginners, ...
I used both EggBeater Candy SLs and Time Atac XS. I prefer the Time's--even though a bit heavier, and even though Crank Bros has great customer service--they...
No votes for Shimano? Shimano XT SPD = work well and are bomb proof. Got them on 2 mtbs and 1 cross bike, and an SPD road version on the road bike. 1 pair of...
I'm glad you mentioned that. I have Shimano on 2 MTB's and a cross bike, too, but I have been interested in changing to the Atacs. I can't figure out a good...
As a beginner, I am completely comfortable in my Speedplay Frogs. They stay on when I'm pedaling and come off without me even thinking about them when i need...
The secret is in the cleat, which last I saw has a spring loaded gate(s) that pushes out of the way when clipping in, and snapping shut once fully engaged with...
I ride speedplay frogs. I really haven't noticed any problems with mud--just jam them in and they work. But the comments about cleat wear are incorrect....
crankbrothers sell longer lasting replacement cleats besides the standard cleats but of course they cost more. i don't know how longer they last as it's fairly...
FYI - the teeters are a bit tippy right now - ha ha ha. The second platform lists to the right a bit. Tried pushing it back into place and using sticks to...
After finding out that the speedplay's required the three hole shoes, which I don't have decided to go with the eggbeaters. Hopefully it will stay dry enough...
Yes, it's party time. I checked the teeters, they are still ok, just a little twisted from the wood drying out. Nothing to be worried about. It needs water (as...
only road speedplays require 3 hole shoes. the mountain pedals (frogs) are 2 hole like all the others. ... From: jack_brooks_trails@yahoogroups.com ...
In addition, only the road pedals have springs - which are an issue if they get dirty. The Frogs (Speedplay's mountain bike pedals) do not have springs and...
Say folks watch out, the trail idiots are back. someone once again tried to re route the turn at the bottom of the last hill in the Joggernut. I stopped &...
As a desert as Raf would say. Where have you been? We haven't had rain there in a month. Yes they are very dry as of Monday night, go ride!! Booker "If you can...
