Review: Bontrager Flatline Flat Pedal Shoes | Carbon Fahrrad Umwerfer Installationssatz

When it comes to choosing pedals, many people stick to what they know, but pedal technology, like everything else in the cycling industry, has evolved considerably, even if the aesthetics haven’t. Smoother float, larger pedal/cleat contact and reliability are all places that we notice the greatest improvement. That’s not to mention that the weight of both these systems is incredibly light as well. The French have led the clipless pedal business for decades with their designs, quality and attention to detail, but it’s their passion to deliver the highest-performance products that keeps both companies on the innovative edge.

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

The M424 pedals are excellent for commuting. Because you don’t actually need to be clipped in to use them, you can simply stamp on the pedals as the lights go green and then clip in when you are up to speed.

Specialized 2F0 Flat 1.0 The 2FO Flat 1.0 has an elastic Lacelock to keep the laces away from your chainring. Claimed weight 347g in size 42. $150 USD.

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.

Multi-release cleats are easy to recognise, as they’re stamped with a large letter M. If you’re buying online, look for product code SM-SH56.

The bold text is quite important, because you need the adjustment freedom a band mount derailleur offers.  Its not difficult to setup and once correctly aligned provides precise and reliable front mech changes time and time again.  Ive not adjusted the position once since I initially dialled in the position.

There’s more to buy if you go for Shimano Di2 or Campagnolo EPS. On top of the shifters, derailleurs and charger, you’ll need a battery and wiring.

The Time Xpresso 15 pedals are extremely light and clipping in/twisting out could hardly be easier. The downside is the price, and the cleats wear noticeably faster than those of other brands.
