helpful store, for sure

Wow! Next level experience! You must have been riding clipless for a while to notice this on a non-fixed gear.

I'd love to see your take on the Ynots, if you've ridden them. One sneaky comfort thing is they allow a little wiggle room for your feet, so if your pounding the tachometer and need to shift a little, you can.

Interesting post. I like the way you broke it down.
