Bicycle bearings: everything you need to know | Spd Pedals

The release on both systems is distinct, and neither leads to unwanted exit. Due to its Iclic system, once the Time releases, it doesn’t feel like it wants to pull you back in if you are unclipping slow before a stop. The Look, on the other hand, always wants to maintain its closed position.

Sounds like a bit of creative accounting occurred before the sale, with a load of “assets” now written off

Flats on the DH bike, enduro, xc and cross bike, clips on the road bike and that’s only because you look daft in fivetens and lycra.

As CXR94Di2 has demonstrated and I can confirm that road shifters do work with the XT mechs, but as I said you must use front and rear. I took my advice from CXR94Di2

John D’Anna, a Republic reporter, rode his bike 11 miles to the last light rail stop in Mesa and then took the light rail the rest of the way. 

This research would reveal that Sram’s system is wireless, Di2 and EPS are not. They would presumably therefore realise that they would need wires for the non wireless systems. Oh, and a battery. Unless they thought the battery was disposable they would probably realise that they would, at some point need a battery charger. If they thought it was disposable they would wonder how long the charge would last and how much would replacement batteries be.

Pitzl, who lives two miles from the newsroom, usually drives because she uses her car to get to assignments. 

"I think many of us have seen those kids that were started on clipless pedals too young," said Dan Maier, QBP’s BMX product manager. "I don’t see it as much anymore but have seen more than a few younger racers fall at the track and still be completely stuck to their bikes. They were either not strong enough to unclip or their pedals were way too tight. Both are safety issues."

+1 – although I took to the zero straight away. I have them on my aero and TT bikes. Spds for my MTB and commuter/CX/winter bike.

SH-52 – if you can get them. Harder release than the SH-51 and only supposed to be used with the M858 pedals, but I’ve been using them with M324 and M540 without any problems.

At the centre of the pedal is Time’s ‘ATAC’ (Auto Tension Adjustment Concept) system, which uses a pair of sprung parallel bars to clamp the cleat in place. Unlike on its other MTB pedals, the tension can be adjusted.
