I managed to get back to the UK last week and brought back a pair of my Egg Beaters and a pair of Specialized shoes for trying out on the fixed gear.
First impressions are very positive (though have been using clipless pedals for 15yrs, so no surprises there). When "braking" on fixed, I'm puling up on the forward stroke of the crank revolution, (ie resisting forward revolution), I'm a little concerned about the bolts that hold the cleats onto the shoe. Has anyone heard of these bolts stripping because of the tension applied when "braking"?
(before anyone asks, I am running a front brake! :)
Cheers!
