Platform Pedal Spike Delete
 

Spike on platform bad for skidz. Mashing slowed down by feet correction, also destroying the soles of my shoes. :troll:

Shaved.

Huh?

I think you maybe have been using your pedals upside-down.

duh

wth is your post about? your lack of knowledge?

yeah, that's the title of the post.

So are you doing skids on your fixie without any foot retention?

and using a demel tool with fleece gloves?

you realize fleece will do nothing to protect you and would probably have melted onto/into your wound had you slipped.

dremel* and only gloves we could find. where is the courage people!? yes i am going without foot retention.

are you ****ing kidding me

Can you skid without Straps?

do you use a brake

the point of the spike is so you can get yourself into your toe clips, assuming you use them.

amazing.

wow.

try these

ive used a dremel without gloves many times. i dont recommend it, but it could quite possibly be safer than the gloves you chose.


I enjoy that the fixed gear craze is bringing new people to cycling but i think there should be a required history course and a predetermined number of mile one has to ride on a bike with friction down tubes with toe clips and another bike with brifters and clippless before your allowed to own/ride fixed gear...

Are you sure you're not one of the C&V people posting here under a fake account just to make us SSFG people look bad?

Mad skids Yo

this makes me like thirdgenbird's idea even more ^

its how my dad "raised" me. i rode downtubes and cages for about a year. then bar ends and looks for about two years, and then he gave me his hand me down 105 brifters and ultegra spd pedals.

while this was all going on he would show me different bikes/frames/components at rides and races and told me all about them. i laterally lived cycling from about 7-15 years old. i'm 24 now and wished i never went on "leave" from the sport.
