All of the above. SPD SL pedals on the road bike. XT trail SPDs and Shimano shoes on the short travel FS Bike which tends to get used for mile munching rather than very tech rides. DMR Vault flats for the big bike and DH riding. I like the efficiency of being clipped in but think I descend better on flats which I much prefer for more technical trails. I believe that’s down to foot and heel position which try as I might I can’t seem to quite reproduce on SPDs.
OneUp’s aluminium flat pedal offering delivers super sharp and grippy pins with variable heights for their location on the pedal and a super thin and large platform for maximum clearance and stability, making it a cool contender. It’s not quite up there with some of the best in terms of grip and shape, but then its cheaper than some and despite the minor bearing roughness from the get-go, they’ve been hammered in the muck since with no further deterioration. The pins thread through from the opposite side too meaning they can still be removed and/or replaced when you’ve knackered the sharp end. All in all, a very good flat pedal with well thought out features and a reasonable price tag.
*as this is road cc should point out that "The Rules" need to be considered and then ignored as practicality overules unless you do actually race
Our news director, Kathy Tulumello, also raved about how much she was able to get done on her bus and light-rail commute. But it did take her 90 minutes to get in.
Ridiculous as that may sound, signs of change are a(bare)foot — beloved B-list Instagram cycle-touring celeb-influencer Ultraromance has done the seemingly impossible in raising Bedrock Sandals to a status of coolness in certain circles. Stranger things!
The Synth shares the same pins, body shape, and spindle as the Scarab. They just lack the customization options of the Scarab.
That said – definitely not a beginnner setup. Tightening the cleat screws even .5nm too much and you can compress part of the housing enough to give you issues with the spring. Breaking in the spring must be a hell of a time for a light rider, and if the missus moves on to them (I have bought her some, but after realising the initial learning curve she lost interest), I’ll have to break the spring in for her. Also actually finding the pedal isn’t just step down and go – you have a few cm wide circle under you foot that you need to mount so like Keo’s etc, you still need to develop muscle memory.
Fast forward a couple of decades, and there’s now a load of World Cup downhill racers using clip-in pedals, and (aside from a one Mr Sam Hill) most of the EWS field chooses to clip into their pedals too. That said, there are many different varieties of clip-in pedals these days in addition to the XC racing ‘lollypop’ SPD pedals. For those who prefer baggy shorts and big travel over Lycra and lockouts, there’s a growing crop of platform-style pedals that emulate the larger size of a flat – pins and all – but with a clip mechanism at the centre of the pedal.
Now I couldn’t use anything else. They are just pheneomenal compared to the various Looks I usually use. They need broken in first of all as the spring is super stiff, but once done then it only takes a little force to clip in. Actually finding the insert point is a few weeks of muscle memory (I stuck them on the indoor trainer first which sped this process up).
Unfortunately, based on my experience, I think we ended up with Dewitos instead. I don’t fault FiveTen here — the shoes are incredibly well-crafted and offer all the features mountain bikers expect in a shoe. But for me, I’d prefer to keep two sets of shoes in my closet; FiveTen Freeriders for flat pedals, and a different, more traditional clipless MTB shoe for everything else.
Herrigstad and Bendiksen pedal the most typical type of e-bike — those with a battery-powered “assist” that comes via pedaling. When you push the pedals on an e-bike, a small motor engages and gives the rider a boost. The more effort applied, the faster the bike will travel — up to a limited speed assist. Most e-bikes, including Herrigstad’s, come with a power to adjust the boost setting from low, such as on flat terrain, to high, such as on a hill.
