Anine Posted January 7, 2013 Share Something which I came across relating to riding with flats. http://www.bikejames...th-flat-pedals/ James Wilson's articles are what finally convinced me to go back to flat pedals. big +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted January 7, 2013 Share Nice... those were one of my options for my cleated experiment. I eventually went for these http://www.pricepoint.com/images/styleImages/D_285%20FIVMF0.jpg With these pedals http://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/crank-brothers-malet-pedal.jpg Shoes haven't arrived yet. As for the pedals, after reading reviews I probably should have waited for the Mallet DH's or gone for the Time Freeride Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted January 7, 2013 Share me got me these: very happy with my flat pedals! Nice! Low profile. Wide platform. No centre pins (so your shoes don't get chewed up so fast). My flat pedal combo is this http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/fi/five-ten-baron-flat-bmx-mtb-shoes.jpg or these (although I don't wear them much anymore) http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/fi/five-ten-sam-hill-mtb-shoes.jpg with these pedals http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/images/custom/pedals/large_npneutron2.jpg Delilah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatGirl Posted January 7, 2013 Share http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/images/custom/pedals/large_npneutron2.jpg i also had a look at these ma hulle bietjie swaar. and at the moment i ride with my running shoes, I'll get some skate boarding shoes. I went to the Billabong shop in the Somerset Mall en vra toe die ou vir die skoene, die eerste wat die ou my vra is: so hoe oud is hy???jirre ek het my papie gelag, dit was vrek snaaks, ek skree toe neeee vi my!!!! Dit was hilarious! Thug and Delilah 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G00SE Posted January 7, 2013 Share I'm really keen on trying Flats, but Diald bikes dont have any stock oon the 510 freeriders, or the neutron pedals.When I get an idea in my head, I want to do it NOW!!! so this is really killing me. Need to find an alternative supplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you let me know the duty % you pay on them? Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft Vader Posted January 7, 2013 Share Flat pedals all the way. When you're hooking it up on flats, there is no better feeling. I can't bunny hop properly with clips. Just feels so wrong. Creme' Boulle' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G00SE Posted January 7, 2013 Share Can one use Skate shoes such as Vans ? You can, but apparently they don't offer nearly the grip of the 510's. But they're better than using your old pair of running shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G00SE Posted January 7, 2013 Share Speaking of flats, did anyone use bear traps on their BMX's when they were young?Now those things could take a chunk out of your shin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
