• Just had my first ride with clipless, bought some cheap Exustar pedals and I'm wondering why I was worried: no problems unclipping (but have the pedals set up very loose) and no spills, however pulling away was a different matter as I struggled to get back into the pedal. I practised pulling away on the road outside my house when I got back and I'm sure it will soon be no-look.

    Pedalling action felt good, the pedals have plenty of float (too much really, but I can reduce with more tension), feet felt right, cadence was smooth and power transfer felt right: my fast bike now goes faster I reckon
