Another great LW video. I've been riding for just over a year, and am ready to try clipless, this helped immensely, thanks!
Great to hear! Don't get discouraged if you do tip over! it happens to all of us, the key is to get to a spot where you do it so much, unclipping becomes second nature! Just do a ton of starting and stopping in the street or grass park so the motion gets dialed with tons of repetition.
Thanks for tips I did not get when I got my shoes and pedals. I plan to make some adjustments based on your knowledge sharing. I always love the videos, and thanks to the whole Loam Wolf team!
Thank you very much! Happy to help and hopefully you find some benefits on the trail.
bro you killing it with these videos I love it .
Thank you very much!! Hope they help.
finally,,, a really nice video without unnecessary
show
Glad you liked it!
To keep it simple:
Shimano (OEM SH-51) single Release SPD cleats = black (when new).
Multi-Release (SH-56) = Raw Metal.
You can spot them on a shelf or peg wall (or even mounted on a shoe) from "a mile"
#geek
Crankbrothers sell rose colored cleats that give you quick release and quiet nice float.
I've always run my cleats right under the ball of my foot where i have the most "athletic" stance. But I may try running them further back now because i do tend to get calf fatigue on long descents.
Right on! Let us know if it helps! You’re going from a “sprinter’a stance to more endurance and stability.
This was excellent.
Thank you!
Are you stalking me? I was just looking up info on here yesterday as my new shoes and pedals came in, then this gets posted. Lol.
Haha. Yes we are!
@@TheLoamWolf knew it! Haha.
Don't plan on using clips. I'm over 50 and never tried them, but that was interesting info.
Thank you very much.
I tried single release and hated it for slow technical riding. I tried the multi release and haven’t looked back. I run the cleat tighter now but still can bail easy
Thanks for sharing Troy!
No down sides to moving cleat all the way to the rear. If too far back move them forward a millimetre at a time. Each foot may be different. Also move the cleat laterally to ensure transverse stability of feet on the pedal. Cleat too medial will cause foot stability problems.
If your toes are pointed out, don’t you get a lot of heel rub?
I prefer Time atac pedals and use Crank Brothers shoe shields to prevent the cleats from digging into the sole.
It depends on the frame. They’re not massively pointed out but on some frames yes.
@@TheLoamWolf I meant on the crank arms. 42-42.5 shoes here Obvious that’s only cosmetic. Plus, as cyclocross is my discipline of choice, there’s likely a lot more lateral movement anyway.
Side note- any plans to hit Bellingham next year? Between Galbraith , Kona, Transition, Evil, tenet, Fanatik, you could fill a month full of content. Not to mention having B.C. Next door!
Oh… no. My feet are not that angled to where that’s an issue. Only the swoopiest of seat stays get an occasional touch.
Our new tester Dario lives there so we may come up and ride with him!
Hey loam wolf, I just got on clips recently and I'm noticed left knee pain on the inside. Any ideas what's causing it ?
Oh boy Nic… there’s a long list from saddle height (slight change from being “on” pedal to “in” pedal… but more likely it’s clear position. Check front to back and also angle.
When you’re riding do you feel the pain? If you unclip and rest your foot on top of pedal and keep pedaling can you get pain to stop by having foot in different position? If so, move the cleat to get closer to that position.
Also, it could take some time for new muscles to develop and build as clipless pedals use new muscles! But be careful not to cause damage there’s a difference.
Watch out for counterfeit Shimano cleats on eBay. I got some and could immediately tell on the bike. Looking at them without magnification, I could not tell.
Thanks for sharing.
which bike is that your riding in this video its sick bro
Thanks. It’s a Fezzari La Sal Peak. Check out Fezzari’s website as they offer really cool custom-build options and affordable pricing.
@@TheLoamWolf I I’ve checked them out but their website is kinda confusing and annoying to navigate around but other than that they do have nice bikes 🚲 I’m from Arizona and live next to Pivot those bikes are insanely beautiful but the prices are ridiculously expensive smh I’m stuck and stressed out on what I want to get when I actually have the money 💰 for it
Pivot do make some beautiful and expensive bikes. We’ll pass your feedback to Fezz about the website.
My knees require me to run cross-country clipless pedals for their ability to float, flats kill me.
Toe clips need a comeback. Clipless pedals are the number one cause of ankle injury.
Don't do it, people! Flats only!
Or maybe magped
