The primary thing I like about my e-bike is that it both encourages me to ride and enables me to keep up with younger riders. Iâve been leading bike outings for Sierra Club for many years, and some of our outings include hills. On my regular bike Iâm a slow climber, always the last one to the top. On my e-bike, I reach the top when other riders do. Also, my wife is in ill health and is in a nursing home. She gets good care, but I support her in numerous other ways, so I have to keep myself in decent condition for her benefit. The e-bike helps me do that.
Five Ten Freerider Pro One of the most popular flat pedal shoes recently received a few updates. Claimed weight 338g. $150 USD.
“These Funn Black Magic pedals are one of only two plastic pedals in this grouptest. The pedals arrived unpackaged and with pins already in. Apparently, retail ones come with a pin pack and nice little socket key for installing them. If you get some, I’d recommend using that to tighten them all right down, as ours lost most pins on the first ride, which certainly made for…” Read the full review here.
As the name suggests, the retention spring is a carbon blade that is available in three different tension ratings of 12, 16 and 20. The latest version of the tension spring is easy to interchange, and our test pedals shipped with 12s installed with 16s included if we were in need of more tension. In addition to the trio of spring options, Look also offers three cleats with a different amount of angular float: 0 (black), 4.5 (grey) or 9 degrees (red). The grey cleat is the most popular with RBA test riders.
The pins are definitely the highlight of the Scarabs. Each pin has a shear line which causes them to break away upon hard impact.
Jessica Boehm, a Republic reporter, took a Bird scooter from her place to the last light-rail stop in Mesa. She said a backpack would have been better than a laptop bag and a purse, which left her a bit lopsided.
Unlike Shimano’s old Saint and DX flat pedals though, the pins used on the XT body don’t thread in from the back. Instead, Shimano uses steel grub screws that thread directly into the pedal body. This presents an issue if you grind a pin against a rock, as you’re also grinding away the surface that you would insert a 2mm hex key into for installing or removing the pins. Once this happens, it’s a case of getting out the ‘negotiator’ (pliers) to remove those busted pins.

The only issues I’ve witnessed is with two owners of SRAM etape systems who didn’t charge their batteries, so were stuck with limited years in the Pyrenees, but they could swap the front and rear mech batteries round, so low gears for the climbs and then big gears for the descents. Didn’t seem ideal.
I’ve found platform clip-in pedals ruin my knees. They can effectively remove the free rotation in the clip-in pedal because the sole is in contact with the platform. How good a grip the pedal has on the shoe depends on the combination. I learnt to avoid them many years ago… YMMV
