Clipless on the hybrid (2013 DS 8.4 ) - Check
Clipless on the Cyclocross (2012 Ridley X-bow) - Check

Shimano M530 double sided SPD with a small aluminium platform which makes it easier to clip in/out and gives you a small platform to use if you do miss clipping in straight away (especially on a gnarley gravel track or something).

I just did up my son's old 2008 Wolverine and took it round some trails on the weekend with the standard platforms.

I'm torn as to whether to go clipless for the sort of stuff I'll be using this one for. I miss the clipless especially when going up hills, the clipless really do give you advantage. I hit a couple of bumps that had my feet flying off the pedals so miss clipless there. I'm not sure though that in down hill trail riding I'll be able to get my feet out in time . Torn as to whether to convert or not.
