Lets See Your Mountain bikes.

Picked my bike up from it being repaired today, went out with my mate, did 11 mile, had to stop once though just at the top of the steepest hill, not been on it for a few months so i didnt feel too fit today!! haha

 

Mozza - while your bike was being repaired some low-life nicked your SPD's and put some cheepo things on!

You've just kissed goodbye to working you're hamstrings properly. You may not realise at the time but when cycling in spuds or any clip in pedal you pull up aswell as push down.

You’ll screw your knees up as well Dean. Pushing down hard and not pulling up (esp. at our age) will bugger them up. If you just push down your only using one muscle group – share the work-load throughout your body mate.

 

You’ll be telling us your pushing a big gear next!

I was looking in to getting some just before i got laid off, However with no regular work at the mo all none essential spending has been put on hold mate.

 

They are better tho i must agree, ive had them in the past and liked them, take a bit of getting used to but they are good

Giddy Aunt I've just pictured that......Thank christ you aint cycling down to Jonesies do.

[Dean Lofthouse]

I'll put them back on when I get some shoes but they are pricey and I have some street dred to live upto so don't want to look gay.

 

 

I want to be able to just jump on the bike and nip to the local shop or down the yard, they do a one sided pedal where you can ride with or without but they are dear and so are the shoes.

 

Can you walk ok in the shoes or does the clip underneath catch the ground

[Mozza]

you do sound like a horse when walking, its years since ive had some tho so they may have sorted that out these days

[Mick Stockbridge]

You can walk or run in spuds, the cleats are nowhere near the ground. That clippety clop type shoe, cleat and pedal is for road cycling only, such as Look Keo. The very nature of mountain biking means you have to dismount at some point and run or get over obstacles
