MTB clipless pedals vs flat pedals

Read this (including the Manifesto PDF).

 

Very good read, thanks. I did laaik this:

 

... that both have their place in riding, specifically I believe that flats make you better and that clipless can make you faster...

 

Been riding clipless for 8 months and enjoy it because i feel i get a bit of extra power on pull-ups and also find that alternating between predominantly down to predominantly up pedalling is great for relieving leg cramps or pins and needles in my feet.

Maybe we should all email them and they'll see the demand and make a few available to buy.

I already have a set of Greg's old wheels on my bike. That's enough fanboy for me. But you guys go ahead.

Turns out my cleats were totally worn and now click out pretty fast again.

Also went for 15 deg cleats over 20 deg.
