Great Idea!👍 I agree with you 100% that there's no pedal designed from scratch, from the ground of for BMX.🤔🤔🤔 That's why I prefer to use a road pedal with fixed cleats( 0 float ) I repeat it's very important! - with fixed cleats.😎 That combo comes closest to the feedback you get from your flat pedals according to my expierence😎👍 When I switched from flat pedals to road pedals, at the first ride it took me only 30 seconds to get adjusted and then YOU ROLL!😄 (BUT you must take your time to adjust your fixed cleats properly before your first ride! Important!) The reason? Essently when you put your foot on your flat pedal it's like you have fixed cleat connection with your pedal, only not being locked in like with a clipless pedal.🤓 The only other option I consdidered is the crankbrothers pedal system. (I know you said you don't like road pedals, but they work very well at offraod to my expierence when you what you do.)They are essentially the only one who offers a fixed (again 0 float) cleat option for their offroad pedals. In addition they also offer option of pods to add to their pedals to adress exactly the issue you described in your video beyond the shims they have for their cleats themselfs.🤓 Tha's my two cents, cheers!👊 Keep up the good work!

I’ve ridden time pedals with no problems despite them fitting loose. I’m in 17-20 X and I rarely unclip and it’s normally due to not warming up enough.
For some years, I have been building up the points on the shoes with epoxy where the side-to-side play occurs. These points on the shoes get worn from walking during mountain biking, and can be built up again with the epoxy which is surprisingly long lasting.
Technique is the reason you came unclipped! Thank you! I’ve been saying this… “I squirreled out because I came unclipped” nope.. you came unclipped because you squirreled out. Remember this next time someone says they lost a race cause they came unclipped.
Thank you for making the video and for sharing the video. I love little tips and mods/tricks like this...and this is one that can make a big difference if that gap movement is a bother. Please keep the tips coming. Next up...how to give Willow a bath without getting soaking wet yourself. Oh yeah...good luck with that one Mr. JB Weld will fix it fella. .
obviously the thicker the grease for the spindle the better for applications where uts holding weight but maybe running thinner for pedals is the move, interesting idea
Everyone should subscribe to Barry if you see this comment
👊🏼😉
thats what im here for ngl
A couple pounds?? That must be some dump :) Hahaha. That line had me rolling.😂😂😂
Thanks For the advise My Idol Nine Five,,,🤟🤟🤟
Love the insight Barry! Ready to see you At Hamilton bmx summer tour 🔥
Great Mod. Oil tip was awesome, well worth a little extra maintenance.
I always preferred the traditional flat peddles when I raced. Tried the clips, couldn't get used to it...
Good video, good info 👍
Liquid nails on my ht , but I let the shoe set to form mold while hardening

Thank you for the tip ❤❤
Great video dude
I have to wait a few more years, and when I get them, I will do the exact same thing

How do you know how tight to have your tension spring or is it preference really or if your coming unclipped tighten them
It's mostly personal preference. But rider strength and age of the pedals has some influence on it
I start about a quarter of the way and ride it till for some reason I feel I need more
@@barrynobles95 thank you mate , love the videos made me wanna get back into riding so been going to track a couple times a week
Barry have you ever been to Rockford Bmx track in Illinois it’s my home track
When you were in Waukegan you did the Debbie bike with one of my friends form the track
@@Ryno_7210that was fun
Many times
@@barrynobles95 I hope if you go there again I can get the chance to meet you
I like your lipstick
😘
How about nitrogen filled tubes for a 1%?
Yeah springs are so thin in 4 months I broke 3 of them😂
Barry, what oil are you using for the pedals? Mine are still on the restricted side of spinning. Thanks 🤘🏼
What shoes do you pair with the HT pedals?
What oil do you use on the pedal?
Can u do a video about how u moded the Shimano Pedals?
Unfortunately not. I used a machine from my dad’s machine shop for those. Not a simple process
How much are the spendals

noice
What cog size and front do you run ? I heard the front was a 46 tooth I think but what’s the rear? Thanks
@@Angrytoddler 46/17
Hey Barry I wonder if it’s possible to find bumper pads to put on the pedal that are rubber and does the Gap while giving a bit of cushion
You don’t need cushion. You won’t feel it, plus anything softer will just tare
@@barrynobles95 jb weld is just durable and lasts long
are you going for 2024 1 vet pro this year
If I’m racing I’m racing to win
Can you buy me an e ride pro
