  • Ooo chain snap is not good. Any good brakeless unclipped rodeos. The one thing I miss about straps is that I never had the brakeless rodeo with the Hold Fasts. However clipless riding is great. Wouldn't go back. I think since switching over about two months ago I've fallen seven times. Maybe eight plus 5 clipless rodeos into traffic. Each time learnt more control. That's what I love. Plus I get the same thrills like surfing over reef with a solid set.

    Fixed gear rodeos though can make ones heart double time at High speed

  • Shhhh. The adults are talking now.

  • What pedals are you using?

  • surely having no brakes is a form of retardation

    #justtrollingidontreallycare

    Can't argue with that logic.

  • Time atac xc2 good beginner wise but you can't set the tension. So my right foot can't unclip on one side of the double sided pedal as well as the left side. Was told I just have to wear them in over time. Should've bought adjustable tensioned clipless pedals.

  • Anyone know wtf a fixed gear rodeo is?

  • Bit rubbish if I need to get the right foot out. Hence the many falls in two months.

  • Anyone know wtf a fixed gear rodeo is?

    It's a sexual position. Look it up in the index of the Kama Sutra.

  • Explained:

    When using clipless pedals you DAS and you became so excited your heel on one foot twisted outward causing that foot to unclip instantly.

    You therefore have the other foot affixed other side rotating as your body moves in a horse riding style panic to get the other foot on the pedal and clipped back in.

    An extreme fixed gear rodeo usually happens at speed downhill in traffic.

  • You fucking muggy cunt.

  • Yeehaw

  • Why would you ride with pedals that unclip like that. Are you a tit?

  • He is trolling, ignore

  • Thanks for that Hovis.

  • Anyone know wtf a fixed gear rodeo is?

    When you unclip on one foot by mistake and start bobbing up and down try to control the bike with your remaining foot.

  • I'm sort of enjoying this thread, sort of hating it. Thanks?

  • Why would you ride with pedals that unclip like that. Are you a tit?

  • well that was an awesome conversation.

  • Why is everyone so, scuse the language, bitchy and hostile towards other riders. Chill out.

    You'll waste your life hating on others. Besides we are a community whether you realise it or not.

  • Anyway catch you guys later on the streets on my Jamis. Braaap. Night all.

  • Ah, forumers getting all high a mighty about a braseless rider? Its a fucking track bike forum, leave the dude alone.

    Fixedstar. Sounds like you need some different pedals if you are unclipping all the time. I also run time atacs and they very rarely unclip (although I did bombing a steep hill a week or two ago). Or, you can change the tension by swapping the cleates over (with chainges the angle of unclip from 15dergees to 30 making it more unlikely that you will unclip.

  • What if I hit you twice in one ride after accidentally unclipping do rad muddy power slides because I'm too busy looking at the scenery?

    I would say you were heading for big trouble.

  • I made popcorn for you guys

  • So, should I wear a helmet or not?
