  • seriously tho...like edscoble above, i rode mtb's previous and have always ridden with mtb spd's...still do. never rode with straps, etc and being increasingly a lazy cunt have been walking around in my cleats lately. having read this thread now fearing uncleating moments when they are least needed. i did UTFS for a cleats vs straps debate but got nicht...whats the consensus? for the purpose of thread relevance can you do best skiddage with cleatage or strappage?

    i personally have never really used straps, used them a couple of time and couldnt get in them very easily and once in i worried about not being able to get out again.

    Used road SPD-SL for the first year of riding fixed, but you get through cleats at a rediculously quickly, changed to SPD but found you can clip out too easily. Recently got some time atacs as the vast majority of people i know iuse them and rate them, they're wicked, give me real confidence that i can rely on them , only issue is that mounted them on the huge float option and after a couple of days off the bike went for a ride and forget, and fell over as i couldnt get my foot out as i forgot i had so much float!
