LAds,

Discussing the old SPD/Flats debate somewhere else and i made a comment which was on a thread on here about a worldchamp/runner up etc who was running on flats not SPD's

But for the life of me i can't find it...

Any ideas please ?

    Never heard of anyone running flats at the top level, certainly not recent. I'm not even aware of any UK Expert or Elite riders using flats.

    Log in, go to the bottom of the forum page to where it says "Who is online", click on your username then click on "Find all posts by weeksy59". It'll be in there somewhere, though at over 1200 posts it could take you a while. You've probably already done that but it's all I can suggest, I'm afraid.

    Wasn't me who posted it mate, was someone else.

    You don't need to have been the original author of the thread to find your comments on that thread. If you made a comment on someone else's thread, it'll be listed under your posts.

    Yes it's a fair point but please do your best to explain why all those 'trail centre riders', most of which will more than likely NEVER enter and win a serious comp should bother?

    Is there a trophy with prize money being handed out at the end of their trail centre weekend 'pootle'???

    Thought not. :D

    Who gives a flying crap about what someone else has on the end of there cranks. If you are looking and sneering at someone elses pedals you seriously need to get a life :roll:

    To put it a different way- you wouldn't ride their bikes, or wear their clothes, or use their tyres, why assume their pedals are the exception?

    (OK, they actualyl are the exception, for many, but just don't assume it)
