wait, so the logic is that risers don't belong on track bikes because track bikes belong on the velodrome? hmmm... why are you riding a track bike out of the velodrome then?

FACE IT - people ride MTB clipless shoes in the city for the practicallity - not the design intention.... same with risers.

Sorry but risers make more sense in a city like nyc. For all you people living in the suburbs, yeah stick with your drops, but when there's a gaping pothole coming at me between cars, I'd like to pop up over it with ease and not have to come up from the drops to do so...
