Flats
This should be interesting... He he. Discuss.
"Being pro-flats isn’t the same as being anti-clipless and misapplying either pedal system in the name of blind ideology isn’t helping advance our sport as a whole."
Clip On or to not to Clip On
Whats the go for MTB'ers using clip-on's
I think I would prefer not to have them so i can freely move my feet on the pedals but if there are any advantages to using them i'd consider changing.
So are there any advantages to using clipon's ?

Clipless Pedals, again
I still have trouble when I need to unclip quickly. The part I hate the most is when I'm out of the saddle climbing and then need to quickly unclip (i.e. a technical climb, I cant get over a rock or I cant make it to the top). My problem is I unclip one side, but have fallen to the other side a few times already. My unclipped foot is still in the air and because I'm not sitting and my weight is on the clipped foot, I cant unclip it. Common sense tells me to lean to the side I've unclipped, but I don't like to through my weight to one side when I haven't unclip a foot yet.
Clipless Pedals
Had a good ride at Faulconbridge Point, Rid out and back twice. Only fell over 4 times. Twice at home in the driveway and twice at the trail. First time I have used clipless pedals, I got the Shimano caged SPD. I guess only repetition will make it second nature to twist rather than lift.
How many times did you fall over when you first tryed clipless? Do you still fall over?

Clipless pedal choice
Hi there
I've got a new bike on order and it doesn't come with pedals so I need to make a choice about what clipless pedal to get for it.
I currently ride using Shimano M520 SPDs and they have worked fairly well over the last year or so. However I seem to be pulling out of these pedals more frequently now even with new cleats and more tension dialled in. Perhaps the pedal mechanism is wearing away?
