Mr. Win

Ross is riding a felt IIRC. I'll need to snap shots of my bikes.

Felt F55 and a Trek3900. I want to get some clipless pedals for my MTB any suggestions?

I ride a 2004 Felt F70 roadie ~5000 miles on it, and I have a 2000 Trek 4500 MTB.

I used to trail ride around here(some relatively technical singletrack) and then got into road ie stuff, which then led to Triathlon (tri-bikes are f*cking sick looking)

Nice! I was riding on Sunday and thought about that bike for you. It's a beautiful bike. I couldn't be happier with my felt and when the cash is there I'll prob upgrade to that caliber felt.

I really want to build a single speed for around town shenanigans.

yeah, I really like the things that felt does, and my size has been ordered, my next step is going in and test riding the felt and the Cervelo. but first the temp has to warm up to 40ish. and dry up, which will be a while.

That's cool, trail riding is a bad ass workout. I need to get out and do more of that this year, (I have been neglecting my mountain bike lately)

Nooka King
02-13-2008, 03:50 PM
its seem like a very cool way to workout and bike but the last time my gf did it she feel off a cliff.....it was bad, but stuff like going over logs and going thru tree that are just wide enof fot your bike and one wrong move could screw you over, not to say anything about how fast you are going, but you have to have crazy endurence, up hill and down hill then back up.........no thank you.

As far as pedals go, I don't even know what to tell you... but unless you are serious, don't spend a ton of money. On my MTb, I have a pair of mud shedding spd's that were only like $85, paired with some 70 shoes. it is a perfect combo for the bike (2000 trek 4500) Spending more would be borderline wasteful on a $400 bike, ya know?

shadywade

id say the trail kings man the best bang for your buck light weight and lifetime warrenty 80$


45mph or faster coming up to a section that you know the only thing thats going to stop you from becoming one with a tree is your skilled instinct and blatant disregard for self preservation= FVCK THE WORLD!!!!

I don't get much of an adrenaline rush on my bike, it weighs over 50lbs. But I love it anyways:godance:.
