I like my frog pedal for touring except when going up mountains. I plan to continue the transamerica tour from yellowstone going east this summer. Going up the passes was a challenge for this rider. After a rest it was hard for me to clip back in and get enough momentum to continue the hill with the heavy load. Stopping was even an event, to get unclipped fast enough to get a foot down on the ascents. Yea, I'm not the strongest rider. I never fell, but had many uneasy moments.
Oh wise ones do you think I'd be happier with flats- hybrid pedals, or flats w/power strips. Any advice would be much appreciated.
