I fancy going on to clipless, recommendations anyone?

PMSLOVL !!! and Im still fuckin' clueless but a bloody good larf . Someone mentioned flip-flop clips , any idea's lads ?

practice.. you will fall over.. be prepared..

The best way is to flip some clips on your lips then clip some chips to your hips then nibble chips off your hips and watch the moon eclipse

Most SPDs work thus....

Front of cleat pushed into front lip of retention system, press heel downwards and the rear of the cleat clicks in.

To unclip, twist your foot, and the retention system is prised open.

The problem is that when you start to topple to one side. You will panic and pull up instead of twisting. This will not work and you will topple over. Usually happens at lights, or starting off. eg. at 0 mph. We've all done it, it humiliating but painless.

don't forget to wear denim hotpants..

Actually they're attached to my cranks.

Just make sure you put the pedals on the right way round. took me a few days of riding backwards before I figured that one out.

yup

Under The Foot System

repped for this btw.

Those Bebops have been off the market for some time. Due to, IMHO, unfair legal action by Speedplay. Since then there has been reports of other over zelous protection of IP. Speedplay, it seems, are a bit triger happy with the lawyers.

As someone who's just gone through trying to use spd's all I can say is; find some grass and not the street. My knees are killin' me.

Fuck.. Speedplay... How do they work?

the trick is to practice clipping in and out while holding onto something so you don't fall over. Then don't ride with your friends for at least a month because you will only fail to unclip when they're watching.

If they're anything like Bebops, you need to step directly down onto them. The cleat and pedal are tapered to help center the foot.

As for how do you set them up.......feck knows........with difficulty.

WHAT?!?! Only last year the pedal to use on this forum was Time ATACs and now they are Speedplays?!?!

Jezus says youre fickle!

atac's are still the best.

Balls.

Bebops. Charliethebikemonger had them.

spud cleats often touch the floor when atac ones don't. And I've never seen someone pull their foot out of atacs, I have with spuds.

....actually quattros for fixed.

Huge cleats though.

Ive pulled out of ATACs but not as regularly as SPDs.
