I'm curious since I'm new to mtn bikes..... I went to buy one this weekend but they didn't have my size so I rented one for the weekend. The guy at the rental counter ask me what shoes do I normally wear. I said I wear a pair of LG's with speedplay light action pedals and he said you cannot wear those shoes on a Mountain Bike..... Don't people use clipless pedals? And why would my road shoes be wrong for this bike?

Sorry for the hijack but I'm not too far off topic.
