Well thats what I do dont know about you lot
If you can show me a youtube vid of that I will convert!
I would do but the dog ate the videoFig rolls: proof that god loves cyclists and that she wants us to do another lap0 -
All seems like too much hassle for me, think ill stick with flats; dont need better power transfer when you only go downhill and push back up anyway!0

In a few days maybe weeks you will start to do it without any thought.
One day you will have a emergency stop situation and forget to release and realise your not there yet.
Months from now you will realise that you have been out riding all day without ever thinking about it.
Months maybe a year later you will release as easy as you take a breath of air.
And then just a day later you'll come up against something completely unexpected and over you'll go
Bike commuting around a city 5 days a week and riding off road at weekends brings up just about every unexpected event and its never brought me a spd moment in years.0 -

I fell over sideways in the car park at Dalby forest before I'd even got on the trail. My mates found it funny even if I didn't.
I then found out that letting my mate set my bike up was a bad idea because he deliberately turned my front wheel round so the disk was on the wrong side and it took me a while to notice. Again much amusement!0 -

If you do SPDs up to the max you need a friend to help you get out. That is pretty amusing.Not really active0 -
