It is a personal thing as is your fear of proper pedals. I would rather have a sexual affair with a cheese grater than risk using flats.

Maybe people whor ride flats can ride properly and don't need their feet anchored to the pedals to stop them coming off...? [/devil's advocate]Iwasgoodonce":3tugvxp4 said:

Either way trying 2 types of spd over a 10 year period in my case I think qualifies as giving the concept a fair go
Plus imagining flat pedals hitting my shins pales into insignificance as I imagine the numerous painful crashes while still attached to my bike :shock:

I'm not having a go or misunderstanding anyone. When people use a "Mad as hell"/"Twisted evil" silly symbol when a few simple words of explanation would suffice, obviously I respond. We are mstly grown up and adult. What's wrong with words?
Im flats all the way now, my knees feel so much better now after 18years of using spds, i think its un clipping that can make your knees ache over time twisting to unclip out the pedals
I will still use spd pedals for racing only now as you can still get better power down for longer with less force

Persevere with the SPuDs once you get used to them you'll never go back. Can some body explain to me how you can push on the down stroke and pull on the up stroke with flat peddles? Some thing else that dawned on me lately was how good the condition of my cranks are compared with some on the cranks I see on the bikes in this forum, answer SPD's :?
