Well, I have decided to get a Giant Trance 3. But now that I have made one decision many more follow. I know basically nothing about pedals, everyone is telling me to go for clip-ins, but I have never used them before. Any tips on what to look for in a pedal, or anything that might help me out a bit?
Thanks
[font=Comic Sans MS]Its a choice the individual makes, i switched to clip ins after a couple of months of cycling and wow what a difference, you get more power on climbs and your feet don't bounce of the pedals on the bumpy trails, saying that i know folks who happily ride for years it sneakers and normal pedals.[/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS]I’ve had friends use the multi pedal one side clip and one side normal, this gives you the opportunity to unclip and still pedal properlly, however they converted to full clip in after a while.[/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS]With a bit of training it becomes second nature to unclip your cleats.[/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS]MTB shoes differ from road as you can walk in them without the cleats touching the ground, you don’t have to walk funny like the roadies. [/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS]The choice of shoes and pedals are plenty I’ve been happy with the 3 sets of shimano spd’s I gone through and my cheaper Olympic shoes are more comfortable than my fancy Nikes.[/font]
[font='Times New Roman'][font=Comic Sans MS]Happy shopping.[/font][/font]
