Thermophage Posted January 14, 2016 Share So this is what i have to work with: Mongoose pedals where one pin is missing on the one pedal and one pedal spins smoother than the other. The whote show is a tennis shoe i use in the garden amd the other is a running shoe.Use the tennis shoes, I've used worse and they were fine Pedals are more NB. Those pins are relatively short, so may not feel the best but otherwise look good. They're VERY similar to my old DMR V8's which I loved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re: bunny hop, would like to learn that on flats as then you really doing a proper bunny hop but me thinks thats gonna be hard so just getting through the trail in one peice is the goal:) I put flat pedals on my new bike last month and the issues I've had so far are the following: (all due to bad habits / lack of skills). 1. Riding up switchbacks is proving to be difficult. I clearly relied on the up-stroke with cleats to get up switchbacks and am still trying to do it. 2. Bunny Hops - I learnt to do bunny hops with cleats so completely the incorrect technique. Just watch a few videos online and you will see how easily the guys to it. At this point I can now bunny hop a stick, just need to practice more and progress to a log. 3. Jumps / Drops. My feet keep leaving the pedals in the air. Also due to bad technique. After watching a few videos to learn the proper technique I can now do small jumps without my feet leaving the pedals. Other than that, I really am enjoying the flat pedals. Don't have the right shoes yet, but I do have a birthday coming up in 2 months and have already been throwing the hints :-) I feel that I am finally learning to ride a bike properly and am loving it. 1.
