Ugh...we're all screwed now!

In before the lock (of the entire ss/fg forum).

Do your clips help you at all without the straps?

they could be half clips, which i have on my road bike....

They're not.

So I'm asking him if they help him. The clip in that case is designed to hold the straps up for you to get your foot into them. The straps are the working part that allow you to maximize your upward force on the pedal.

Making personal attacks about someone's choice of hair style or asking whether they got the free shoes to make them relevant to the thread is unnecessary and cruel. Making sure someone is using equipment properly is helpful.

;)

i see. THEN FLAME AWAY GOOD SIRS!

BTW, how do you feel about your half cups? I've always felt like all they did was help keep your foot on the pedal, but didn't offer much in the way of force transfer. That said, I've never used them, so reserve my feelings until I actually try some. What do you think?

well, they certainly apply more upforce than just a pedal on it own...
prob not as much as normal ciips/straps....
best ive experienced tho, just feel wise, are holdstraps. im definitely a fan of those, just got them in earlier this week and enjoy them mucho.

half clips are way easy to get in and out of tho which is nice for lots of intersections and u cant trackstand

Do you mean Holdfast?

no, holdstraps, the walmart equivalent.

lol sorry im tired zzzz

Hah, no worries, I'll take that as a yes.

Yeah, Holdfast are fantastic for riding around the city.

Thanks for having my back, anti. MA represent!

Well, well...birds of a feather flock together.

I just pooped on the floor laughing

Got mine...and yep, they're wicked huge.

Though, the laces are long enough to be wrapped around the foot and strung through a pedal.

Sure 29,300 miles on them.

Those are nice. Please send me a pair, size XL.
Thanks

You missed the part where someone doctored my photo and says: Dude You look Ridiculous.

We ain't flaming. Just fun. Old Men on race bikes are ridiculous.

Especially when running plastic clips sans straps.

I would just like to point out, for the record, that I was the first person to point out the plastic clip sans strap action. Me. First.

asked for a size 8 and they sent me a 6. wut da worl?

Hahaha.

I still haven't gotten mine yet. Sigh.

I road 16 miles round trip on Friday to lift weights in the Kursk shoes. Used clipless peddles

The shoes felt pretty good with the peddles as long as I was riding level ground. Too much pressure point when climbing though. The shoes are fantastic for lifting weights. If the Kursk hold for the next several months, I may have to ask for a set of Midway Chrome shoes for Christmas as my primary weight lifting shoes and cycling shoes for going to the gym. The Kursk would then become my utility riding shoes.

On Saturday, I did an 8 mile ride one way on clipless with outer cage

This time the Kursk were comfortable even during climbing. I keep the shoes on while teaching an 8 hour class (mostly standing the entire time) as well as the organization group breakfast, dinner and keynote speaker. About 13 hours total.

Sunday, 16 mile round trip on clipless with outer cage and 7 hours of teaching class.

The Kursk remained comfortable even during the long 2 days of class and dinner plus.


I really like these shoes and hope they hold up for a very long time.
