Got some ATAC XC4's for the latter part of the summer.
I ride brake less and they've been absolutely fine. Skids, whips etc, no problems.
Bought the XC4's as they have adjustable spring tension, but haven't bothered to adjust anything. Still on whatever setting they were delivered on.
Had a quick look the other day and they're not bad money too. I assume the XC2's are a bit cheaper still.
Bought some cheap Shimano MTB shoes off ebay as I wasn't sure how I'd get on clipped in. The shallow tread they have is quite handy as it keep the cleats off the ground. Saves any wear on them and stops me sounding like Glue-Boy the horse when walking.
Hope not to have to many of the 'shit the bed' moments as mentioned above but I'll let you know if I do!
