So as I mentioned in a post a while ago I was having way too many butt clenching moments in rock gardens (mainly due to me being not so good on the MTB) and I decided to buy some flats and try them out.

Well, I did it...and its horrible!

I don't care what anyone says about the myth of pulling up on your pedals...I must do it a lot because I was soooo much slower on climbs and a lot less efficient on the more technical sections. With the clips on I feel much more in control of everything I'm doing on the bike.

In my opinion, there really is nothing like being clipped into your bike. The old pedals are now back on the bike and the flats are for sale.
