Default Another form of clipless pedals.

Advantages - light weight, sheds mud easliy, few parts to break, easy to maintain, east entry/exit. I think I describedhe perfect pedal.

I must have some despite my ATACs are 3 months old. I hate griffinpup. :-p

I've heard good things about 'em, but they would look silly on my SC Bullit. :-)

Default Are they easier to get in/out of?

I've just finished my first season of MBing, and I want to move up to clipless, but the learning curve sucks, if you know waht I mean.

If these are easier to pop in and, especially out of, I'll have to give them serious consideration.

Default its not all about how easy you want to clip in/out... sometimes that's bad....

just like time pedals, there is a two ways you can set them to your liking depending on which "clip" you put on which shoe... in my case I like NOT being able to clip out easy... just makes me feel secure and intouch with the bike. (i.e. 605 relay in the AR, vs. taking it out.)

I tested both set ups and found that the easy setting was a little TOO easy to twist out of... I did a stall test, bunny hop test, hop turn test, and pivet turn test... most of the time I was clipping out by accident on the "easier setup."

I then changed over to the "non-605 relay" set up and I was in heaven... ahhhhh..... it was still easy to twist out of, but very noticable on the difference of being securely clipped in... (out of joy and excitement, I fell on my *** by accident doing a pivet turn because I couldn't clip out...)

either way..... go get them......yummy....eggs.......
