'66 and you other platform riders: Your feet dont slip off the pedals when you go over some rougher stuff at a higher speed? Ive got scars on both legs where a foot slipped either forwards or backwards and caught a pedal or the large chainring in the front. Not trying to start an argument here, im just wondering if this happens to other people too.
Ive since switched to clipless and dont suffer from this anymore. |

I used to when I ran crappy, cheap platforms and/or the wrong footwear. I've upgraded myself over the years to MTB-specific platform-pedal shoes with tacky soles and aggressive (Syncros Mental) pedals and have enjoyed traction that rivals the feeling of being clipped in.

^^ For goggles, check out Dirty Dog - - one of your home-grown brands. I have two pair of Moto-X 1s and have been happy with them; the new Moto-X 3s look awesome.
. . . and I would have a Pressure Suit for sale - - IF SixSixOne could ever ship my Pro PS I ordered back in March :notamused:. Two sponsor plugs in one page! Well done :D And one sponsor unplug? Highlighted in bold. |

Not entirely their fault on the Pro PS - - It's a supplier issue that they are having to deal with. |

Guess who has to build the fisher back up?
All due to some scuzzbag bike thief, stealing the dmr frame, so I am a bit lucky I had taken a good chunk of the parts off the bike in order to do some maintenance to.

I was reading the which "clipless and why" thread and I got to thinking..... After years of riding clipless pretty much all the time I'm now running platforms on my bikes. I went out for a ride yesterday running my Time pedals and about 6 miles in my knee starts giving me problems again.When I got home I ditched the clipless and went with a set of platforms. Now when I ride with my old Vans/flats setup,no problems. I am finding that I am just more comfortable riding on flats now days.
Back to DMR, V12 pedals & 5-10 shoes give awesome levels of grip. I noticed someone asking about feet slipping - a big thing is to relax when riding. Tense up & you'll come off any pedals. Even with SPDs, if you're tense you'll crash (maybe still attached to the bike...) |

Not much to watch at the moment. But I DID get to see a crapload of smileys and a choochoo train.

Smileys make everything better.

Fail. I won a good chunk of the recent arguments because, unlike most arguments I have, they were based on provable facts and not opinions.
