  1. fantastic reply its exactly what I want to hear I just thought having the wider platform would give my foot a more controlled and more comfortable placement. it would also for some reason give me more confidence on the technical side I see the endurance and downhill boys wearing crank brother mallets or similar that look like flats but have the advantage of the clips for pedaling and control Thanks for the honest reply FYI i would have to stick to shimano as I have xt pedals on both my road and mtb
  2. Hi all Always ridden with shim xt clip pedals Thinking of trying larger platform clip pedal What are the advantage/diss doing this and any recommendation (dont want to spend alot) as i may not like it

  5. Hi all I have both a road bike and a mtb On my mtb I am totally comfortable. Long rides no problem. When i ride my road bike my shoulders (esp blades) get so sore I know bike setup is an option, I have had one on my old bike and and tried to replicate. Here is the question the handlebars on my mtb are 750 wide. My road bike is 400cm should I not try first wider roads road handlebars like 440cm . Anyone fixed there sore shoulders with wider road handlebars

  10. Hi all some advice please I am running an 11 speed setup xx1 rear derailleur, xo crank with sram 11 speed 32 crank and a 10-42 cassette I really would like 1 extra easy easy gear for my spagetti legs question 1. thinking move to 30 front chainring if yes what make do you recommend thats light strong and doesnt break the bank? lastly and most important the offset? can i take it that it is a 6mm not sure how to calculate check test etc? Kinda remeber the guy I purchased the crank mentioned it but it was 3 years ago so just guessing
  11. Hi I have read all the comments about this. And all points are relevant. I did have a situation when riding the delta were I was following a cyclist who was in a helava rush, when we got to the bridge section by the trail head there was alot of traffic and dog walkers. I knew that just be patient its congested. The cyclist didnt care and pushed fast through and he did bump the poor old dog. In that situation we must realise that this section is for everyone and If I want to to race rather go ride at modders, cradle northers etc were you can ride as fast as you like. That's my 2 cents worth

  14. I ride a Yeti and I think having a bigger footprint is not a bad idea, I purchased my bike from Colin and Jared and I have always had a good relationship with them, especially Jared who as always helped me with technical concerns or product advice. They are however very involved in there bike touring company and I am sure it will get bigger and bigger, and I wish them great success their
