Re: Fixies
rode a fixie for the first time today
bare lolz. mate had to hold the bike up by the seat so i could get my feet in the clips without going arse over tit
trying to skid stop was well funny
need a full day out on one to get the hang of it
still not interested in riding one on the street, but will def need to get my head around it if i wanna ride track (which i do)

Re: Fixies
lol why were you not rolling when trying to get your feet in the clips huhuh.
took me about 2 weeks to get really used to it. feels very strange now going back to a freewheel, plus my legs are awesome now huhu.
missed your post last week. i can put together your mixte if you have some parts, can also order in parts you want too.

The ones in the pic look fine, what is the difference between a track and non track pedal?
Just how clips fit on?

Re: Fixies
there's a top and bottom with a little lip thing to flip them over.
top quality pedals tho. MKS good stuff.

'track' pedals only have a clip on one side, no?

Re: Fixies
these don't have any clips. you can see in the pic they are up the right way, if they were up the other way that little lip bit sticks into your shoe and is annoying. but just flip them over with your toe and boomtown.

but i saw someone who had things like that with top and bottom. kinda a cool idea i thought.
i dont really ride bikes but i should, i am so lazy and drive everywhere lately because public transport is more expensive than petrol >.<
