These work well on my Carbon bike. But they don't have a flat side

They are not at all chunky.

Do you find th e first set hard to unclip.

I've been riding clipless for decades but these puppies nearly take my shoe off when I twist to unclip...super loose setting.

I have to use 6 degree float cleats (yellow), blues or reds stick like glue.

Make sure you spray the pedal mechs with GT 85 or similar, it helps.

Ive never seen those before. Do you have a link for them?

I was actually going to say that ,use your old bike for winter lol.

My new bike will be in the living room or in the loft.

The shoes I have now have recessed clips and I make sure the fastenings are are the slackest they can get. I keep them clean and oiled and I never have a problem unclipping. The shoes are great for walking around town in.

Ive been very reserved to be honest. Ive been into my LBS often over the past few months to look at the Kogas. The shop is used to me as I have bought 3 Kogas in the past 2 years from them. I really didnt need a bike but liked this one but wouldnt pay the full price and have been haggling for weeks. Yesterday he caved in and knocked £600 off the price. I was suppose to collect it today but it can wait until the weather improves.

go get it quick in case he changes his mind or god forbit he drops dead.

I was going through a box in the shed today and found a set of 530 pedals, I forgot I had them.

I will try them for a while and if I get on with them I will order a black pair. The ones I have are silver.

What do you mean this time of the year?

Do you seriously think that bike is going out before the summer? :=)

They have summer in Denmark?

I have pair of the A530 pedals. The "flat side" is quite slippery with my MTB shoes (Spesh MTB sport)
