No Pedal Bikes

edited January 2009 in MTB general
Ive noticed a few pics here of bikes with no pedals and a lot of mags will give the weight of the bike without them too.

Now, I have always used pedals but some of you obviously dont. I cant work out how this works (and Ive tried) or what the advantages of riding pedaless would be. isnt it a bit dangerous on the downhill bits. and what about going up a hill?

opinions please?

    Almost all bkes, mountain or otherwise, come without pedals as it's, for some people, a ver personal thing ant they'll swap pedals between bikes.
    Most magazine photos will be taken when the bike is all spangly and new so it wouldn't have the testers favoured pedals fitted then.

    is that what those clip on shoes the xc guys wear are for? do you clip theminto the holes where he pedal axle would be?

    i notice its never jump or dh bikes that are weighed without pedals, only xc bikes.

    I heard somewhere that they dont put the weight of the innertubes in, and they drain the fluid from hydraulic brakes.

    I sincerely doubt it, he's got along way to go.
    It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

    I've bought a new bike....ouch - result
    Can I buy a new bike?...No - no result

    That one wasn't a bad attempt. (made me laugh, anyway!)

    But, I see where you're coming from Toasty

    that was your first mistake.

    if you get upset by somebody you dont know on a forum just because he's funnier and more popular than you (partly, but not only, because of your ridiculous ears and that fishy odour that follows you around) then you really should have a look at your life. such as it is.
