i hate that censor especially when i want to post this smiley: :d

That allcaps sensor is there to protect your internet ears.

i can still yell WHATWHATWAHT

lol'd.

i dont really have the money for a well-made older 10 speed and i wouldnt trust cheaper parts, plus i like simplicity, so right now im riding a mix between like a townie/roadster and a road racing bike.
coaster brake, 27" wheels, fat gumwall tires, drops, cloth tape, fake concor saddle, etc.
basically, im going to put the MKS deep clips(steel, sz M) w/ white leather christophe straps + MKS touring pedals on it... do yall think it would be ******** to ride a coaster brake w/ clips and straps?
im probably going to do it anyway, unless it proves to be like, super dangerous

Why would that be dangerous?

Unless you plan on setting your head on fire while riding, why would that be dangerous?

hahahaha i dont know, people get razzed a lot it seems for riding super fast with only a coaster brake.
i think its what i want, i just wanted to know if yall thought it was whack or dangerous.. like if you slip or take a crazy turn and are about to eat it, usually i can like bail out. is it still possible w/ clips and straps or are you pretty much locked in

If you're concerned about safety, why not use a front brake too?

Eagerly looking forward to the answer to this question.

if i use rim brakes i want front and rear, with like retro-looking levers and hoods, and if im doing that, i might as well have a ten speed too. but as of right now i just have a townie/cruiser that i put drops on, basically.

i guess my question was "should i put clips and straps on my bike, or will people razz me or call me a poser"

which in hindsight, i guess it doesnt really matter.

So looks are priority #1. Got it.

If you're gonna have a ten speed, might as well have a car.

To actually answer the question, I would not use clips and straps with a coaster brake. But I wouldn't use drops with one either.

I generally argue that you should use clips and starps. Why would you say no for a bike with a coaster brake?

Should I do hills or hammer it out on flat ground tomorrow?

Whatever hurts most.

Mentally, flat, physically hills.

idk, i just was wondering "how lame" i would be for running clips+straps on a coaster bike. stupid question, really. i was drunk.

no, looks arent priority number one, but i do want it to look classic/retro/vintage/whatever. i dont like the looks of curvy futuristic stuff with lots of labels and colors.
ive eaten **** a couple times on bikes with cables. once i kicked a wire by accident and had to ride home stuck on the heaviest gear ever in the snow, and once a cable got caught in my chain somehow and i ate **** on an old 7-speed huffy. i didnt really know anything about bikes back then though, but im still kind of wary of cables, and i dont have the money for a well-made ten speed. i basically just threw drops on my cruiser for more hand positions and to feel like im going really fast, and i think they look sweet.

if i ever want to ride a really long distance ill want to have a different bike though. i basically just ride my bike to the bar or friends houses or whatever.

it wasnt a very good "should i..." question is all. im gonna run them anyway, i tried my friends and i could pedal a lot better.

Think about your question and you shall see the answer.

Nope, still unsure why. Unless you are talking about my stupid typo. :innocent:

How does that even happen?

More CM Punk is always a good answer.
