anyone got any tips for clipless? im thinking about doing it for racing but im just afraid of falling and being attached
problem, crank bros pedals cant be loosened. and what makes them worst is that they are really tight when you first get them. right when you need them to be loose.foesjunky said:You'll Be amazed how quickly you can get you feet out. Start by running your pedals a little loose and when you feel your ready tighten them.
Interesting, I've had great luck with Crank Bros. I've used mine only about 3 times and they have always been super easy to get in and out of compared to the shimano pedals that I have used in the past. The problem with adjustable tension pedals, is that the easier you make it to unclip, the more likely it is that you come unclipped when you don't want to. You shouldn't have this problem with crank bros.dhkid said:problem, crank bros pedals cant be loosened. and what makes them worst is that they are really tight when you first get them. right when you need them to be loose.
Which is why you should start with Shimano pedals which are fully adjustable.dhkid said:problem, crank bros pedals cant be loosened. and what makes them worst is that they are really tight when you first get them. right when you need them to be loose.
Just ride them, and take your feet off the pedals when you need to. It's not really any harder than taking them off a platform...just lead with your heel.lovebunny said:anyone got any tips for clipless? im thinking about doing it for racing but im just afraid of falling and being attached
true, and the shimano ones are cheaper too, so in case at the end of the day, you decide that cliples is not for you, you wont regret spending loads of cash. but then again, i got the cranks bros for half price,i couldn't resist it!ito said:Which is why you should start with Shimano pedals which are fully adjustable.

Yeah, totally. I ran clipless on my XC steed for a few weeks. I got pretty used to them and I certainly think the benefits are there, but I just wasn't comfortable in them. I threw my nice sticky Tioga pedals on (the nice machined ones) and they've been treating me great.hucker13 said:I rode clipless for a while but just never really got comfortable with them. Some people, on the other hand, swear by them. It's really a personal preference.
