deanbean Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Cool man! Any particular reason?They're cheaper and you don't loose that much weight on the pedals, less than 100g.The flat pedal ManifestoManifestowithLinks2.zip
Swart Kat Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 @in10sive, if u plan on going DH way of mtbing, then flat pedals, otherwise clipless is the way! U are in any case not suppose to uncleat other than when u finish riding, why cycle if u gonna walk more? Also, what make spd's u have? The cheap ones are not so easy to use, very stiff, even if u loosen them up!
Pieter1 Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 They're cheaper and you don't loose that much weight on the pedals, less than 100g.The flat pedal ManifestoManifestowithLinks2.zipExcelent! Thank you!
Warren_G Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 thanks guys - might be just learning curve for me - will check, maybe pedal is to tightIf you've left it on the factory setting it probably is too tight, had the same problem.
Wimmas Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 I had and still stlightly have the same problem using cleats and trying to get my feet out when the bike slips etc and fell resulting in some serious injuries to my knee joints etc. Maybe take a look at those pedals you find that are clipless on one side and eggbeater on the other then you can decide how you want to ride depending on the terrain!
Swart Kat Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Ai ai mense, get with the programme! Da is kinders jonger as julle wat al met cleats ry! Dit is nie so moeilik nie. Sit in jou spaar tyd of Sondae, in plaas van slaap, in die garage op jou fiets en oefen die "uncleat" aksie!

Pieter1 Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 So Dialed bikes don't have stock of the DMR pedles. Any other local guys in the JHB north area thats worth to go to?

MeridaHFS Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 I've been riding with spuds for more than 12 years and can in total blame about 5 "om donder" events on them and the rest of the time they've been a asset to my riding(XC). On the other hand when riding AM or downhill on the morewood I'll never use spuds. Here flats gives you the much needed freedom. In my opinion it all depends on your type of riding..
Jigghead Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Loosen them up, I find they don't pop out when riding even when loose, it's when it's bumpy that they like to "skip" occasionally. Also, I've found it very important to clean them off often as when they're a bit dirty, they tend to give problems. Sorry if this has been posted already, I didn't read the whole thread.
