There is a myth that clipless makes you faster - studies have shown that pro racers in a lab do not pull up (they unweight the pedal but are not gaining any power by pulling up on it) and are not faster with clipless. There is still some debate about whether clipless might be faster when sprinting, when going uphill, or slightly more efficient over a long ride. /QUOTE]



Wow, I got talked into getting clipless, but I never quite understood how they helped. Somebody told me they were much more efficient because they help you on the upstroke, but I didn't think I was pulling up, but really unweighting as described above. I should have listened to what I was seeing/feeling when I rode.
