    Default Go Clipless?

    So after years of abuse for riding flats- I go clipless, and why do I DNF my 1st expert race- 200 miles on brand new mallet C's and the right comes off the spindle. At least it was still clipped into my shoe!!

    Gunchies right- How ironic is it that I finally go clipless and DNF my 1st expert ride because of the clipless pedal? pretty dang ironic I'd say. SHEESH!!

    Believe in yourself? Well sure, of course. But be aware that "believing in myself" has been the root cause of most of my injuries.

    I have it on good authority that Ray was seen with a multi-tool taking apart his pedal so he wouldn't have to ride in the mud anymore. At least that is the rumor that I am starting.

    What do you want me to do with that nut you handed me just before the start of your race?

    You just hang on to my nuts for awhile, ok?

    does anyone use flats/platforms with the rat traps anymore? I call them rat traps the may be called toe straps instead. I had a pair on an older fisher that I used to ride.
