GhostRider2 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Hi all. The title says it all. Not a fan of clipless. What pedals should I buy for my road bike for use with normal shoes.
Spinnekop Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Fan or no fan..... IT HELPS A LOT!!!!!! Reconsider!!!!
Balsie Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Agreed-reconsider,once you are converted then send out thread for best pedals....
Prince Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Hi all. The title says it all. Not a fan of clipless. What pedals should I buy for my road bike for use with normal shoes. You REALLY need to re think this!
GhostRider2 Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 Thanks Spinnekop Read so many mixed reports. Also as a newbie, falling over at thr robots just doesn't turn me on at all. What clipless would you go for? Am I gonna fall over?
GhostRider2 Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 Seems flat pedals are a no no then. Oh dear. Are clipless SOOO much better? Do they take alot of getting used to?

bikemonster Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Flat pedals on a road bike are an abomination. If you use them I will smite you!
