Winner Of ‘Most Durable’ – Time ATAC DH4 Pedals | Road Bike Clipless Pedals

Likewise, the gentle heel hold and softer sole of the XC5 isn’t going to replace a performance shoe when Strava trophies are on the line.

The Shimano ME7 and Specialized 2FO shoes are a good examples of enduro or all mountain shoes, they’ve got chunky soles for walking in, a flatter sole profile for gripping pedals and are comfortable and rugged enough to be worn on big days out in the hills whilst still being stiff enough for an enduro race.

The pre-production pedals we’ve been testing arrived sans pins, though production versions will come with 2.5mm tall steel pins that thread in from the backside for durability. They can be run with washers to shrink them to 1.85mm, or removed completely.

That said, Di2 is customisable. You could reconfigure the system and make the button that’s hidden at the top of each hood perform upshifts, for example, to sidestep any problem.

Disagree with the Speedplay comments above. I moved to them this year and yes I hated them for a few weeks and was considering eBaying them.

Rode it from Innertkirchen in June, having first done the Grimsel pass in freezing rain & fog. It’s a long old climb, but never feels overly…

In addition to purchasing the bike, Grall also paid Camas’ 8.4 percent sales tax — about $420. He could have purchased it at retailers in Portland and avoided sales tax or even purchased an e-bike online and, theoretically, saved money that way.

I used Shimano SPD 520 clipless for years, but the hot spots on the ball of your foot they can create permanently damaged the nerves in my feet, causing a complete loss of feeling.  I switched to 100 x 100 mm platform pedals and I now vastly prefer them  for urban riding.  Besides all the advantages of platfroms and avoiding hot spots and nerve damage, there is no more clipity-clop walking around in cafes and shops or on the train or the ferry.  I can now ride in my Converse’s if I want to.  

The contact patch is smaller than that available on road specific pedals, offering a little less power transfer – but some roadies do enjoy the simplicity.

The open architecture allows the system to still be fully functional when caked with mud, snow, and debris, which definitely isn’t the case with traditional road pedal systems.
