for 15 years used clipless until broke ankle and leg when toe caught a rock at high speed leaning into corner; switched to flats, went back to clipless and 3 months later went off 10' drop unable to clip out in time. Back to flats since. Shoes made for flats are almost as secure as clipless. Good shoes and pedals.

What a fad. Platforms with those long set-screw allen bolts to grip into your 5Ten faddish shoes. You will end up with holes in the front of your lower legs from those long spikes.
Try best of both worlds. Short spikes, relatively large platform, SPD on the other side for when you get the long stretch of road. https://www.rei.com/product/116154/s...SABEgJ2CPD_BwE |

thank you! I've tried the plastic 1/2 clips but they were too small & tight. after I made mine I found out about the ones you use. they are nice indeed! I'd still add my DIY extensions & pedal extenders (cuz I like big winter boots), which I've shown in other threads. if I remember, I'll come back & show what I mean. you might like to do the same for the winter
oh here we go, see post #3 https://www.bikeforums.net/winter-cy...l#post21217321 I'm only getting back into MTB now and plan on running flat pedals and sticky shoes while I get a sense of how I can handle various terrain. |

Yes, a fad. A fad going on since the 19th century :lol:
