[Magped pedals - Are they any good?]

Hi hubbers. I've been following bikehub religiously since December last year and bought most of my gear through this site. This is my first post...

 

Has anyone tried these magped pedals or owned a pair that can give me honest feedback? At R2600 a pop I'd like to do my homework properly before taking the dive.

 

Seems like the best of flats and clipless pedals combined but I'm not so sure about the pulling power of the magnets??

 

I’ve been playing around with the idea of moving to flats on my mtb (I went for a skills session and apparently your skills improve when one uses flats only) but I enjoy the stability that clipless provide. If these pedals are the real deal surely they are the way of the future and provide the best of both worlds.

 

Any advice/info would be helpful.

Hi did you go for the magped option?  I’m looking into this option now.  I do a mix of cross country and technical and had a few close encounters because of feet either stuck in the clips or not repositioning fast enough. 

[Thule EuroWay G2 3 Bike Carrier query]

I'm in the market for a new towball bike carrier. I require something that could carry 3 MTB's.

 

Will the Thule Euroway G2 3 bike carrier actually fit 3 MTB's or is there something else from Thule that would work better?

 

Anyone with experience with these... would appreciate your feedback before I make a decision.

 

I pack 3 bikes. 1/29” full suspension 1/26” hardtail and 1/20”. Don't know what will happen with a second 26”, will find out soon. But can’t foresee any issue. I think 3/29” full suspensions might be a puzzle build.
