Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

What would the FBNPNA readers reccommend as a good all-purpose flat pedal?

MKS MT FT.

Go ahead, laff.
They're super light, super cheap, take clips and straps, and are maintainable with accessible bearing races.

I'd happily recommend the MKS touring pedals, i got mine with some zefal toe clips and single leather strap on the commuter, perfect.

I'd rather have a mtb with dropbars and road chainset than a roadbike with risers and mtb chainset.

Hybrids are the worst.

IMHO etc

They're pretty fun and handy. I used to enjoy riding the Cannondale Rack, and that was a road bike with a SRAM MTB shifters and risers.

I've got a similar setup to you and I love mine. So handy. Only bike I use really.

Y'all realised that your track bike with flat bar is pretty much a hybrid without brakes, right?

Hell, even hybrid bicycle tend to have a similar fork trails to track bike due to the sit-up-and-beg position.

I don't have a track bike :(

Yeh, both have posistions less than ideal for proper rides.

A tarck with risers rides quite differently to a triple though...

a tarck is basically a hybrid without a triple and stack of spacers.

Normally I would agree, but it's feasible to have a flat bar bike and still be comfortable for proper rides, unless you're referring to club ride, sportive and the like.

you are strong today; post it in HHSB scoble

^^ is that TM?

^^^ by proper rides I meant going anything but slowly for hours rather than minutes, up hills, down hills etc. Of course it can be done just fine, I just wouldn't choose it personally.

The guy on the Boardman is a good example. Constant uphill.....

Ha! I said this back in like 2007.

That was before the apocalypse.

Actually 2009

this discussion is just a perfect example of why its terrible to only have one bike.

Oh look a mtb with dropbars and a road chainset. Yes please.

also diy slick racing ralphs yes

Wow, the drop to the dt shifters looks less than functional! Good road to rando conversion though.

Nothing was really functional before STI.

Not sure if serious. Either way, I disagree. Bar ends/thumb shifters are great.
