Clipless pedals?

[triameleon]

Damn! the regulars hijacked this thread already. oh well. i don't buy these massive gain in power and effiecency uphill down hill or whatever claims. Clipless probably are a little more effiecent in certain instances. I bought into the clipless hype too and rode them for a few seasons. I didn't find them appropriate for the highly techincal trails I rode. I do have a trials background but that came after I made the switch.

See, I'm the exact opposite - I couldn't imagine riding technical trails without being clipped into my eggbeaters. The last thing I want is my foot to bounce off of the pedal in the middle of a rock garden or steep drop.

I know they take some time to get used to (and this is coming from a guy with a BMX background) but I'd never go back to platforms.
