i might just try What you have proposed. are used bike shoes any good? Im still debating on wether or not i should really use clipless yet. as i am still newish as Max C. is and i tend to come to some abrupts stops. there is especially one section of a trail were i have to go slow but fast enough to not fall over to my left because there is a STEEP hill with rocks and trees and bum bottles. Im just wondering if it would be better if i got used to my balance first. Or would just some street and baby trail training with the clipless be good enough for me to handle them better in situations stated above
What your saying makes total sense, didn't know you were new to MTBing in general. Only problem I see is those pedals are garbage, shame on specy for selling a nice MTB with those plastic pedals. So buy a decent pedal, with pins for grip and maybe some bike specific shoes (read 5-10 again) let her rip til your comfortable. In the mean time keep riding and work your way up to the nastier terrain...
