Well i've finally done my first ride clipless
And in all honesty i wish i'd done it months ago ... the difference is amazing
I bought some Northwave SPD shoes on here from Tel (top bloke to deal with) thanks Tel, and then got a pair of Shimano M520 pedals from Chain Reaction for £20 ... i fitted the pedals this morning and spent 10 minutes or so leant up against the garage wall practising clipping in and out which i have to say is a lot easier than i thought it was going to be, and then off i went on a 20 mile loop on some quiet country lanes around my village and i really did notice a difference whilst riding especially on the hills and whilst i was riding along the quiet straight bits i kept on practising clipping in and out, i'l give it a week or so before i start to adjust the tension up abit on the pedals
Simon (think i might go out again after tea)
