You will never enjoy flats if you don't ride with them for quite a bit of time! I say a decent set of flats and shoes + two weeks riding almost everyday (short fun rides), then decide.

 

On the weekend I realized that I'm a 100% flats guy. I've been riding both flats & clips on both bikes for the last year or so depending on trail, conditions and even my mood but I rode Jonkers on flats on my trail bike and it was a BLAST!I was also faster than I'd even been on most of the bits of trail we rode. So for me flats it is.

All valid points... of which i am still undecided :wacko:

I am leaning more towards the cleats for now but my only concern with cleats is that i cant get my funny foot unclipped if im going down.

 

Are there any shops in gauteng that stock the shimano AM's or MP's?

After my BMX gave me the dreaded shin bite, my wife and I got ourselves some knee/shin protection for BMX/pump track sessions.

I really like mine. They look and are bulky, but are comfy enough to pedal up to the starts of the Enduro's.

I am looking at changing the disco shoes fr a more hike-a-bime friendly shoe.

 

Had a look at the shimano mt43

But seems like everyone is out of stock on those & the replacement, mt44, looks very meshy & not so durable.

Anyone know where i can get my hands on a size 46 of the mt43?

 

Or have some other shoes like the spesh tahoe or serfas trax to recommend?

I'm also considering returning to clipless. Shimano AM or Minnaar's?
Hellcats! Tuff as masonry nails!

 

Hellcats are basically Minnaars, just in a different colour.

 

Another one to consider is the FiveTen Maltese Falcon. It's lighter and less bulky than a Minnaar/Hell Cat. Many of the pro's have switched over to them now... including Minnaar himself (who used them for his World Champs win last year).
