Those do look good, I was thinking this morning that some flat shoes with less mesh than my Lems could keep my toes warmer on those cool commutes. Can you comment on how they fit? Would you recommend sizing up? Cheers, Keith On Mon, Sep 25, 2023 at 8:03 AM Michael Morrissey < michaelgmorris...@gm

When changing my Riv from 3x9 to 2x11, with a New Albion 26/42/chainguard setup, instead of using my Suntour XC Pro FD (which probably would have worked just fine), that I've been using for ~25 years, I opted for an older "road" double. I found a really nicely cleaned up Campagnolo Croce d'Aune

My only concern is whether or not my MKS Lambda pedals with extensions would tear up the soles over a short period of time. Kim Hetzel. On Monday, September 25, 2023 at 9:10:15 AM UTC-7 Keith Weaver wrote: > Those do look good, I was thinking this morning that some flat shoes with > less mes

Kim, Five Ten soles (in my experience) are quite durable. They are known for being popular flat-pedal / mtb shoes, and the rubber is specially formulated to be "sticky" in terms of gripping pedals well. I've probably had half a dozen pairs of Five Tens over the years and have ridden mostly mtb-styl

[RBW] PSA: New MKS Pretzel pedals coming out next month

I came across these new MKS Pretzel pedals, while looking for something else on the MKS website. They definitely look like they a twist to them, like a pretzel. Curious as to whether or not they would accept the cage extension that currently RBW sells. https://www.mkspedal.com/?q=en/news/no

My experience with several pairs of 5/10’s. Fantastic grip & overall durability. Big, sharp pins without any significant damage to the Stealth soles. Freerider’s I size up 1/2 size. I can wear a 9 but my 9.5’s are better. Freerider pro size up at least 1/2 size. I did and it’s a very snug shoe. Tha

It seems like that kind of like what this is by default. There was once a time when there were few good flat pedals on the market and now it seems wide open with just so many great options. Its odd to see new variations still coming out. On Monday, September 25, 2023 at 12:45:51 PM UTC-4 krhe..

"Curious as to whether or not they would accept the cage extension that currently RBW sells." The Pretzel pedal has the cage extension BUILT IN. You won't need the cage extension with the Pretzel. It's already in there. Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA On Monday, September 25, 2023 at 9:45:51 A
