Today I got a new paint job - another outstanding job from CBR in Durbanville - my brief was army green and said "hey maybe Cammo" - This is what I got and I'm blown away

Dude! Thats AWESOME!

[Fruity]

Two more pairs to add to the collection

[Reme Le Hane]

Decide after 3 years, on and off of ridding it's well overdue to get into those basics, first bike came with clips and ridden that way ever since.

 

To this day I can still not wheelie, bunny hop, manual or nolie.

 

May or may not be true, but I feel it would be easier to learn on flats, and from what I have seen in many YouTube videos, clipless can lead to wrong form for some of those basics.

 

Going to ride some unknown trails tomorrow, so will swap these out Sunday and work my way into a flat riding life. See how it goes...

Persevere, you might hate flats for the first couple rides, but so worth it. Tried flats a couple years back to improve skills and haven't gone back to SPD's since

Wrong form, or worse, being clipped in when a manual/wheelie goes wrong.

Knog Plus 

 

Needed a new front light for late commutes home. 

This is a great light. Pops on and off the fastened attachment with a magnet for easy charging.

Fortunately giving up is not in my personality matrix, especially after spending a grand on pedals.

 

Put the clips back on for like XC races, like k2c next year.

Which is what first prompted me to order the flats, the manual going wrong while trying to learn to manual. Being clipped in, off your seat, front wheel off the floor and the bike falling left is not fun.

 

Pondering if I need to add shin guards to the knee guards order...

Also moved to flats and loving it. Confidence is way up and at this early stage skill levels also improving.

I fell my arse almost loose trying to wheelie while clipped in.

THere's something satisfying about a boa and strap-laden shoe. Far easier than laces, that's for sure.

Any time you f*uk up on downs I am thankful for flats. The number of times I've tried something reasonably dumb, seen my ass and found myself standing on my feet rather them having my knee caps twisted because I'm still clipped in. Yeah, for pedally days like Harkerville where it's impossible to really get into trouble then I'm back to the ol' DX clips but that is XC territory and I might even consider breaking out the lycra!

Same here, decided earlier this week to go to flats again. 2 rides in so far and I love it!!

 

But I have to say the right shoe and pedal it vital - last time I used less than grippy pedals with skate shoes and it felt horrible while pedalling and the shoes just slipped off the pedal the whole time while descending.

Where'd you get your 5'10s?

I got them last year when I still had some dealership accounts through my online store - happy that I bought when I got the chance.

 

Hanger Bike Co has some in stock, but as far as I know Pinned (online) has the best prices.

If you want to get pair from CRC sale I'll bring them back at the end of the month for you. You can send to my bro's place in the UK and I'll grab from there. PM me if you want.
