Something which I came across relating to riding with flats.

James Wilson's articles are what finally convinced me to go back to flat pedals. big +1

Nice... those were one of my options for my cleated experiment.

 

I eventually went for these

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.

Nice! Low profile. Wide platform. No centre pins (so your shoes don't get chewed up so fast).

 

My flat pedal combo is this

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!

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.

I presume you're getting them from CRC. Will you let me know the duty % you pay on them?

Bwahaha, i'm exactly the same.

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.

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

Im currently using a pair of Ricky Carmichael DC shoes

 

Stiff sole and quite grippy

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

[DR ◣◢]

Do you want to see what my shins look like from those?

 

Cruel amount of pain those things could inflict.

[G00SE]

Hahaha, mine too!! many scars and dents. But they were still the coolest pedals to have
