Pieter1 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Also have flats lying around in my garage. Maybe I should give them a go. Let me know how it works out So I went for my first ride in a while and they were not to bad. I did not suffer on climbs as much as I thought. However my jumping, off dropping and bunny hopping skills suck so the usuall fun factor was not there. I reccon I'm going to put the spds back on only because I can't drop cash on five tens now. The skate shoes caused my front of my feet to go numb and it was not verry comphy. Wil6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggestion: don't go for a long ride but just play around practising the tech stuff with the flats. I will join you if you'd like Pieter1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could still bunnyhop a small root but my feet kept on slipping off so I was not really that confident. Will have another bash with you next week or so.
