On One Carbon Whippet

[Iain p]

Yes mate, got them for the ribble along with some dhb shoes, they'll have to do for the time been.

To be honest i like em very easy to use. Luckily i don't have to walk far, as they are a pig to walk in.

In the future i will change them for the shimano double sided ones as they will suit the use of the bike better.

It won't rust, it's light with a strong wheel set and it will be good in the snow as well, positions quite racey compared to some hybrids as well.

It's a good winter choice, if it's sliding drop out set up single speeds do-able as well if you want to save the drive train from road salt.

The drop -outs are swappable, so yes i could. May or maynot go down the hub gear route but that could be some time off yet,. if indeed i even do it.

They aren't a pig to walk in, you just don't know how to do it.

Looking at that you're right, i don't .
When i first put them on i had to walk across some laminate flooring, now that was fun.

You using the DHB road shoes? I’ve got the MTB version and they’re fine!

 

[Iain p]

Yes mate, got the road version. Nice shoes.

What cleats are you using with yours ?

retracts previous post and runs from the forum screaming "my eyes! my eyes!" at the ghastly awfulness, the monstrosity, the blasphemy, that is road pedals on an MTB.

Runed! You've runed it!

Don't worry, i will be going that fast no one will see.
At the minute it's them or nowt.

One, because i wasn't looking for a cheap bike. Two, because i wanted something light. Three, because it will do a little offroad. Four i love it.

Not a bad interview answer.

Let me know if you decide to give it away
