Hi roesslk!

I'm glad you like your new bike. Aren't they fun? As for your clipless pedals, allow me to suggest (to the profound dismay of everyone else on this forum) that you consider ditching the "scary" clipless pedals altogether. You'll be far more comfortable and safe with a plain old flat pedal that you're not strapped or clipped to in any way. This type of pedal is called a "platform pedal," and they are God's gift to bicyclists.

Racers, those who climb mountains, and fools need clipless pedals. Even in those circumstances, the verb "need" is debatable.. But I digress..

Try cycling with platform pedals. Your efficiency won't decline noticably, you'll be FAR safer, and you'll enjoy your new bike even more! Just try it.
