are clips bad

niiiiiice
I'm going clipless soon
― coz (webinar), Thursday, 19 November 2009 19:46 (fourteen years ago) link
v nice eman
cutty is right, you should get some clipless if only for those times you want to go on a long ride that is not just A-->B (i wear bike shoes all the time, but they're still inferior to real shoes for non-biking comfort, which is why i've got comfy slip-ons at school)
or just do what a lot of ppl do and ride yr street shoes on yr clipless when yr just getting around. it's really not much of a pain when you get down to it
― itdn put butt in the display name (gbx), Thursday, 19 November 2009 19:52 (fourteen years ago) link
also most clips/straps just get mangled over time, and are generally a pain
― itdn put butt in the display name (gbx), Thursday, 19 November 2009 19:53 (fourteen years ago) link
i'll look into it at some point. not really looking forward to learning how clip in and out without falling
― luol deng (am0n), Thursday, 19 November 2009 19:58 (fourteen years ago) link
you can do it. you're a smart boy.
― la monte jung (cutty), Thursday, 19 November 2009 19:59 (fourteen years ago) link
lol
or just do what a lot of ppl do and ride yr street shoes on yr clipless when yr just getting around.
that would be good. do most clipless pedals allow for that? obv the eggbeater ones don't
― luol deng (am0n), Thursday, 19 November 2009 20:00 (fourteen years ago) link
nice dude! will you go clipless adjust your saddle? for me?
― bitter about emo (Hunt3r), Thursday, 19 November 2009 20:01 (fourteen years ago) link
(unless nose down really really works for you)
ya it was pointing up at the store and hurting my weenis and taint so i had them adjust it but they went a notch to far i think

also you don't want to lose weenis head feelings
i will always rep for "what works for you." except for plastic reflectors on spokes.
whomi kidding, i got a list of the forbidden shit.
congrats on bike

― la monte jung (cutty), Thursday, 19 November 2009 20:07 (fourteen years ago) link
also if there are reflectors on those pedals. take them off! buy some knog lights.
― la monte jung (cutty), Thursday, 19 November 2009 20:08 (fourteen years ago) link
I have two pairs of bike shoes, one that look like trainers and have a deep recess and can be walked around in. The others are pretty rigid and hard to walk in. (I wear through a set of cleats in the walking shoes in about 2 months).
I keep meaning to go to the machine shop to build a clip in platform for my pedals.

― bitter about emo (Hunt3r), Thursday, 19 November 2009 20:11 (fourteen years ago) link
thx Hunt3r. got a proper fit this time and the difference is huge.
are u joking or ? a co-worker recently got ticketed by baltimore's finest for riding (a freestyle bmx) at night w/out a headlamp. had no idea about that law. aren't rear lights more important??
― luol deng (am0n), Thursday, 19 November 2009 20:15 (fourteen years ago) link
what joke? get knog lights for the front and back. white and red LED.
― la monte jung (cutty), Thursday, 19 November 2009 20:17 (fourteen years ago) link
i would never ride at night without flashers. but reflectors are in the realm of kickstands. utilitarian but avoid like the plague.
― la monte jung (cutty), Thursday, 19 November 2009 20:18 (fourteen years ago) link
I prefer solid beam to flashers, but would rather have both.

― la monte jung (cutty), Thursday, 19 November 2009 20:28 (fourteen years ago) link
I don't know, as far as I've seen reflectors are much better for actually being visible than knogs. Reflectors show like crazy if you hit them with headlights, and knogs are just so pathetically weak.
― Dan I., Thursday, 19 November 2009 20:28 (fourteen years ago) link
(should go without saying that this is all on top of a set of "real" lights, like a Planet Bike Superflash or something)
― Dan I., Thursday, 19 November 2009 20:30 (fourteen years ago) link
the knog bullfrog is a pretty strong rear flasher
― la monte jung (cutty), Thursday, 19 November 2009 20:31 (fourteen years ago) link
second on superflash, v. good.
my 13 y/o front halogen system is on its last legs, so i got a dinotte

tho my saddle is finally broken in/positioned properly and it's kinda amazing how nice it is in street clothes (except jeans, which will always suck for biking)
― itdn put butt in the display name (gbx), Thursday, 19 November 2009 20:46 (fourteen years ago) link
kinda surprised some hipster bike company hasn't added stretchy jeans w/smooth lycra crotches to the list of technical knickers and 'urban' bikewear
prob cuz they'd look like you were wearing horrible denim/lycra chaps, but still
