There are often questions about clipless pedals here. Yes, rather strangely named as these are the ones that you clip into as opposed to flats.

Anyhow, people often ask, "Are they hard to get used to?", and, "Will I fall off?".

Invariably the answers are: "Sometimes" and "Yes!"

Just wanted to share our experience this arvo with Pratiwi having her first attempt at clipless on the MTB. We went to a local park and cycled about 10 laps of a soccer field. The ground was damp so nice and soft. And lucky too, she was on the floor very soon

My Raceface crank seems to be stuck on my bike. Does anyone have any tips how I may be able to undo the allan key bolt that holds it on? I did work out the part where you get the right size allan key for any would be smarty pants.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Would a Da Bomb Recoil chainguide fit on my 08 model Cannondale Chase?

thanks in advance for any help.

Went out for a final "training" ride for the Husky today and had a major failure of my rear rim (a 4.5 yrs old Mavic 721). Ripped two spokes clean out of the rim. No stick in the spokes, just a nasty twang while pedalling hard up a little rock garden area. Very careful ride home.

Fortunately the rear cassette off my spare bike is at a similar wear level, so (fingers crossed) a rear wheel swap and tyre change this afternoon and the Prophet is good to go for Sunday. Glad it didn't happen 25kms into the race...
