RockCoach Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Oh so now if your pedal has a clip in the middle with a 'surface' around it, it isn't a platform anymore?
patches Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Oh so now if your pedal has a clip in the middle with a 'surface' around it, it isn't a platform anymore? are you even reading what you're typing before you post?! Let me break it down in point form...you asked super_mil what "platform pedals" he's usinghe replied with an answer, telling you what flats he has on his bikesyou then said "I was actually asking which clipped in pedal you are going to race with"both him and I then say that you shouldn't have called them "platforms" thenyou then state that you've heard many people call flats "platforms", thus reaffirming what super_mil and myself were saying... so where is your argument???I hope this point-by-point break down helped get you back on track. If not, let me know and I'll draw you a picture Edited January 9, 2013 by patches
RockCoach Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 I'm actually asking - possibly a long way around and trolling you in the process - that if platforms are complete flats, what do we call the Mallets, DX's etc? Calm down a little

Calm down a little aah so you have realized that you were totally brain-farting when you wrote those original retorts. Good recovery disguising it by claiming it was a troll combined with a beat-around-the-bush question. So now that you've actually asked the question straight out... here's an answer... they're still categorized as clipless pedals... but with a platform. Not to be confused with "platform pedals"! Hope that helps Edited January 9, 2013 by patches

Hope that helps No brain fart - I've just always referred to both as platforms - or any pedal where you can ride and grip a pedal with a flat soled shoe. Because the smaller and smaller platforms with clips like the Candy's can't be platforms.
Super_mil Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 dammit! I should have waited for those! If you get tired of waiting i have some nice nice Mallet 2's for you? Does this mean you're going to be clipping in now?

Because the smaller and smaller platforms with clips like the Candy's can't be platforms. Well from henceforth, cease with such sillyness and call them by their correct names! haha! Does this mean you're going to be clipping in now? I may... from time to time, on longer rides. Still waiting for Royal Fail to bring my shoes

Daft Vader Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Flats, or Platforms. They are not the same thing. I referred to the contact area of the straitlines as "the platform", but did not intend to refer to flats as platforms. In my view and vocabulary, flats have no clips, platforms have clips. XC style clipless pedal systems are excluded from this discussion, coz they are just clipless. Toe straps are evil and should only be used for track cycling. Now if only I could find where I left my balls. RockCoach 1
Daft Vader Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 oh, and I don't paticularly like my 5-10 Minaars. It doesnt feel like a 5-10 should. Freeriders all the way.
Thug Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 I see that CRC have some 5.10 Spitfire FreeRide's for just over R500 are those fine to get or am I wasting my ZAR's? DR ◣◢ 1

Creme' Boulle' Posted January 9, 2013 Author Posted January 9, 2013 Specialized do these, not actually for riding but will work.
