Modern flats have too skinny and long pins. These don't have quite the bite that I prefer for trail riding.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14351827390411802763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501865991666540329.post-64979195570892369672011-04-16T08:18:00.450-07:002011-04-16T08:18:00.450-07:00Ya, that green stuff is going to make his skin tur...Ya, that green stuff is going to make his skin turn green. Definitely going to make him vote for the Green Party.<br /><br />A pair of 5.10 sticky rubber shoes and a modern low profile pedal with full threaded pins and you will be amazed. More fun in corners and rough sections, not as bad climbing as I expected(actually not noticeable, I think of Henry G standing and cranking up puke hill, pure horse power). I'm starting to wonder if spinning circles in clipless pedals makes you weaker, by neglecting your bigger leg muscles. Does require a little more planning when it comes to line selection, since you can't pick up the bike with your feet. Certainly will help develop stronger quads.<br /><br />The Great Flat Pedal ExperimentFather Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11091456269108455739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501865991666540329.post-86852526819591092922011-04-14T21:02:35.782-07:002011-04-14T21:02:35.782-07:00That green goop in a glass is gonna make you ill D...That green goop in a glass is gonna make you ill Dude! <br /><br />I was thinking of a pedal thats surface is like a feild of 3/8" or 1/8" aluminum or composite pyramids, and then your shoe has for the bottom middle section a corresponding plate of the same size pyramids hence a grip but no blood on fucking up.<br /><br />Mock it up and if it works market it,.<br /><br />TDTodd A.

You should check out the 5.10 shoes if you want superior traction on the flat pedals, they make a big difference.Matt Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11535540183173101835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501865991666540329.post-30081442687950735282011-04-10T08:55:13.597-07:002011-04-10T08:55:13.597-07:00I think if I could get comfortable riding flats it...I think if I could get comfortable riding flats it would make me more comfortable going faster in sketchy stuff as the foot dab and or crash seems like they would be smoother not clipped in to the bike.<br /><br />Where do you go to oreder those flat pedal pins or pyramidal scew in thingamajiggers??Todd A.
