Thanks. Not a vintage bike, but glad to know they stop clip side up.

He is looking for the option of flats when taking the bike on short errands / out with kids etc.

Thanks! It looks like the pins are plastic?

Glad yours worked for you
I saw these and was hesitant. I didn't see any grip on them. Preferred the look of the EH500 as it appears to have grip on the flat side. Not sure which way they spin when not in use though.
It might actually be best for him to stick to flats at this point. He is primarily joining me on road / trail rides (right now 2 /week of up to 2hours each - likely increasing as time progresses ) and then short jaunts where he would want flats (/week?). Any recommendations for flats that wouldn't be out of place on an endurance road bike? I could get him swapped to clipless over the winter riding on the trainer
Thanks for your thoughts!
