    Curious as to what most XC SS'ers use and why.

    I use clipless on a geared bike, but was wondering if SS bikes necessitates the use of platforms.

    Thanks for your input.

    Clipless.

    Bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should
    give an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

    Clipless.

    I've run both plats and clipless...both seemed to be OK. I think I like the clipless better due to
    the fact that you can get some pull pedal action in on those steep sections.
