    be sure to use a 'downhill' chainring ie one without shifting ramps.
    this'll negate the need to keep your FD on to keep chain in place...


    If it's a conversion use what you've got, decent tension will negate the
    need to keep your front deraileur.

    Having said that these are nice

    and should last you a long time.

    Hehe! I can only guess they leave it up to you - toe-clips, SPD,
    rat-trap, or rubber.

    Nah, it's a photo/marketing technique. Some idiot marketing guru and
    photographer got together and decided that a bicycle looks somehow
    "sleeker" without pedals. I've seen it many times before.

    thanks for all the tips/advice guys
