count chocula Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 awesome idea with the water bottle joker - i should give that a shot. and +1 on the 'riding in typical cycling attire' for rides, but my rainy day errands and commuting is typically done in everyday garb rather than lycra. hence the frogg togg suit.

rubbish heap two Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Just got some Time iClic pedals after ditching Speedplays. Clipping in to these blows every other pedal out of the water in terms of ease. The pedal just attracts your cleat like a mouse trap...

Knim_One Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 hmm, im not convinced that anything is better then a crank bros egg beater, but I have fucked with times in a long tome. I used to have some time atac carbons on my mtb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubbish heap two Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 MTB pedals... I tried Beaters but the lack of platform/slippery float feeling wasn't my thing. Recently bought some Deore XT pedals but same deal, didn't like the float and didn't like that dialing the release tension in turn made clipping in harder (which means a big trade off in CX races). Sold them a day later. I guess I'm an ATAC guy for life... unless Look gets their shit together with Quartz's. Road pedals... it's a toss up between SPD SL and Time for me. Speedplays were great for everything except sprinting, and I'm a sprinter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knim_One Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I see, Yea, i just use egg beaters. I love the float, I love the ease of clipping in/out. Just me though everyone has there own style. Speaking of style, check out my dads bike (not rockin these pedals now though, that wa a temp.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubbish heap two Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Joker, I'm in the same boat. I rode rain all winter and now feel entitled to dry weather. Happens to me every year around this time. Haven't ridden much all week / gonna do shitty at Tabor race. That's okay. Floyd Landis just blew up the spot on pro cycling.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acer910 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 my brother was just telling me about this XXL spec dual suspension 29er he was servicing. the saddle rested in his armpit while standing next to it. hes 5'9" ish. this is insane. i bet this dude could run over a small animal and not even notice it, unless he has chronic back pain or is riding 100 plus mile races theres no reason to buy a bike that makes trailriding feel like riding on the air. i can understand a 29er, and i can understand a full suspension bike but i cant understand a 29er fs. trails you need a 29er for tend to not require full suspension as youd be slow as hell. and trails that require full suspension would make you disadvantaged with 29 inch wheels..

Fist 666 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 agreed. i'd like to build a s/s 29er after i build my f/s yeti. i'm sure its fun to ride, and the speeds you could get w/o thinking would be outstanding, but i'm too much of a sweat and pain uphill cross country guy to be sold on a bike like that.
