Hi, Did you sell this bike? I just saw this exact same bike listed on Facebook marketplace for R3500. just thought I'd let you know in case it got stolen.

I forgot about this problem I had! Just an update... the pain stopped after a few rides/couple of weeks.

Btw this is all so exciting... can't wait to never go back to takkies again

Thank you so much for all the advice. I rode again today without any changes and for the first time I didn't experience any pain or more fatigue compared to pre-clipless. I think I will still go for a proper bike fit. They did recommend that I may need to adjsut once I start riding. But I'm happy that i'ts starting to return to normal now. I did however have my first fall today (stationary). I didn't clip out approaching the intersection as I saw I was going to be the first to reach the stop, but a lady ran the stop just to turn the other way without indicating. I hesitated as I saw she was not going to stop and forgot to clip out. Sooo, got my first "battlescar" (jsut bruised elbow and ego) but glad it happened as I saw it wasn't that bad and know what to expect now Thanks guys!

@popcorn_skollie wanted to try something new. See what the hype's about. I don't do too much technical riding, mostly singletrack and vineyard roads. If I did more downhill I would stick with flats.

Thank you for your input sofar. Installation was done by a respectable bike shop in town (Flandria) and they paid attention to my saddle height as well, made me do a few laps to check that so I don't think it's the saddle height. Riding with takkies I think my placement on the pedal might have been a tiny bit different than now. I trust their judgement on cleat placement but they did tell I might need to play around with that. I'm just wondering if I should give it a chance and adapt to this new experience over time, get those muscles more fit, or should I already fiddle with cleat positioning?

Hi, newbie to clipless here. After riding MTB with takkies for the past 3 years I finally upgraded to clipless. Shimano SPD. Got the hang of clipping in and out real fast and have done about 60km since installing them 2 days ago (no falls yet My shoes fit real nice and I find pedalling to be more smooth… overall a pleasant experience, but I noticed that my legs get tired a bit sooner now (I noticed especially on tthe front just below the knee - never experienced fatigue (burning sensation) in that region before - as well as overall tiredness sooner than usual) especially with climbing. I know that more muscle groups gets a workout now (e.g. hamstrings). Could this be the reason for the change? I ride 4 times a week, alltogether about 80km so I am not too unfit. If so I guess it will get better as those “unused” muscles’ adapts to riding clipless? Hope it’s not a stupid question! Thanks in advance!
