Mr X Posted July 27, 2013 Share Question is when are we going to get threads like this: Where did the"Where did the "I wish I was as good as the flat pedallers" thread go?" thread go? Hahah we could end up in an endless loop of threads asking where the thread has gone asking where the thread has gone asking where the thread has gone....to infinity and beyond Hahah!!!! Admin at least did come out and answered the question though. Are you by any chance a software programmer? Edited July 27, 2013 by Mr X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VicanZA Posted July 28, 2013 Share It was funny, gonna make this confession right here.... I use egg beaters not a fan of the flat pedals and I can't bunny hop without them.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 28, 2013 Share I'm also going to say that in order to have a proper grounding in MTB, one should start on flats. Yes, flame suit on, but face it. Proper technique comes from proper practice. Tumbleweed, Eddy Gordo and ChUkKy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nofearnofun Posted July 28, 2013 Share I rode flats for years, BMX racing, flat land, skate park and MTB. I now ride clipped in, I can't help if I always win... Edited July 28, 2013 by Nofearnofun ChUkKy and Mr X 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr X Posted July 28, 2013 Share I rode off-road to my friends house on a bomber with flats when I was young. Now I ride clipped in and I`m so fast I ride in my own class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed Posted July 28, 2013 Share I'm also going to say that in order to have a proper grounding in MTB, one should start on flats. Yes, flame suit on, but face it. Proper technique comes from proper practice. I agree. We get a lot of newbies in the shop wanting to go straight to cleats. I always advise that a couple of months of riding to build up confidence, technique and strength is a better option. Switch to cleats later.
