col said:I have tried them and dont like the restriction, much prefer freedom of movement for my feet, I also found I couldnt get the ball of my foot far enough forward on the pedal for comfort. Now I realise the benefits are there and the clipless type will improve things for performance, but I suppose Im a die hard old school and like basic pedals.
I think that's my real problem too. I just like normal pedals and the freedom they bring to put your feet wherever you like and to ride in whatever shoes you like. My only reason for experimenting with toe clips is that I was thinking about converting my SS to fixed gear and realise some form of foot retention system is desireable on a fixed.
