So I just got back from my first ride clipped in! I loved it. Being locked in felt natural to me. I didn't hit any crazy trails just a gravel track to get warmed up to the idea and practiced getting in and out of them. Can't wait to go back out on Wednesday for my 2nd clip less trip!
I just purchased my first set of clipless after riding for over 30 years with toe clips. I ride mostly streets, gravel or asphalt trails. I love them I have the Shimano Click'R PD-T421 and they are so easy to get in and off. I might upgrade to PD-M520 at a later time. I tried Look pedals in the 1990's and never felt comfortable or safe. The SPD system is so much easier and you can actually walk in these shoes.
I challenged myself to ride clipless for 6months. I found the biggest issue I had was getting clipped in after stopping at the top of a knarly decent or something rough say. Went back to flat.
Just gone back to flats, in the winter I’ll go back to clips for more xc riding but now working on gnarly trail riding on my hardtail to build confidence.
I am digging my magnetic Avery REMtech Pedals from Hustle Bike Labs. A bit heavy but I can clip in or ride flats without swapping out pedals. They are very strong magnets. I even put a pair on my road bike.
Interesting concept of magnets. I found these pedals are too expensive for me.
I've been using flat pedals for years. When I first started mountain biking, I was using "rat traps"; this was the late 90s. I bought my current Kona flat pedals in 20010👍👍
Neil commentating on world champs was awesome! He's got to do the world cups sometime.
I use clipless for all my road and gravel riding. However, fracturing my ankle rather badly when I was 21 led to later years ankle joint complications eventually requiring a replacement ankle joint. For every day day life the ankle is fine but for mountain biking even with years of using clips my injured ankle is slower/stiffer causing a momentary delay to unclip, resulting in topple overs when i've needed to quickly dab a foot down...so for mountain biking it's now the new model Hope flats that do grip & work very well & solve my 'slow' ankle problem.
As a lifelong skateboarder, I hate the feeling of snowboard bindings restricting my feet. Same goes for bike pedals.
As I use my bike for riding on bike paths/commute as well as some single track and am not too worried about speed clipping in, I use half and half SPD/flat.
Clipping in is a great way to make the sport even more dangerous:)) Extra adrenaline, love it.
it’s only dangerous if you don’t know how to unclip
@@Retlom true, but you have to be as fast as a pro. Like out in a fraction of a second, on instinct. The pros can do it. Took me a while to realise they are clipped in when starting watching DH, they are so fast. And even then, I've seen some fails when even the pros were wiggling like a fish trying to get out in the air and such.
Yeah, in a crash, the ground hits you on one side...then, your bike hits you on the other. My orthopedic dr says it's happened! I don't like to be restricted. I have flats on my road bike and am happy w/that.
How many times have you made this video!?😅
Just brought a new bike and tried clipless for the first time. Xtrs came with my top fuel 9.8. I had a few close calls tipping over! Definitely lost confidence over slow bridges 😕. I almost walked across one with water. LoL
Clips on my road bike only, flats on mountain bikes. I tried clips years ago and didnt feel safe in the slightest, i hated it, feels like thiers more chance of crashing and breaking bones, I'll stick with flats on MTB thanks.
My use case for gravel riding is mainly is security when u sprinting and on technicall terrain.
Also is more pro looking to most people
My friend rides an ibis with clipless pedals. He just doesn’t ride with clipless shoes. He is a madman
Hi, for me is clip pedals everyday, road, mtb, emtb. Tried once in 2003 and never more use a flat pedal again
The Hustlelabs Avery Remtec magnetic 🧲 pedals - very secure but with the feel of standing a platform. Brilliant Pedals !!!
Can flat shoes be used on Mallet DH? I have a gravel bike that sometimes commute and go grocery with it.
I have a question 🙋🏻♂️
For trail ride,Magnetic pedal is it worth it or not?
I was like hmmmm, looked at the coments... Sticking with flats :)
can we get rid of the word "clipless"?
it never was a "clip" it was a strap or a cage or a combination of both.
Yes please - it's roadie levels of fussiness.
Please, dont get rid of cripples😢
What would everyone like to call them?
As annoying as it is first time you ride clipless spend most of your time clipping in and out of pedals. One thing that doesn't seem to get mention as much about clipless is that with it your ground clearance can be night and day with the right setup.
In my head i think its like rollerblading i rather flats any day 😂
I've seen people falling over with their expensive bikes because they cannot unclip... Maybe on a cheap bike I might try them.
How many times will this be made 😂
Do you all have a contractual obligation to make a clip vs flat vid EVERY DAMN WEEK?
First
Thé clip pedals are a bear tramp no thx 😂
Neil needs a writer, he keeps repeating his contents.
