You've given us absolutely no information, so it's a bit unreasonable to expect us to be able to help you. Have you used clipless pedals before on other bikes? What's the terrain like? Does it get muddy a lot where you ride? Do you have any knee problems, and if so, which? -- monique |

Unless you ride a lot in thick, deep mud, They work great and are inexpensive, relatively speaking. $39 through Jenson USA http://www.jensonusa.com/store/product.aspx?i=PE703A07 Dave |

He lives in France and is getting out of road biking because he can no longer stand to be in the same sport as Lance. He has a doctoral in statistics and his friends call him Dr. X, because it sounds cool. He listens to a little rap, but his wife doesn't know. He broke his right pinky four years ago in a freak accident in an omlette contest. Given that, I think he should go with Egg Beaters. T o m DIllon Lakewood, CO Z to S for email |

>> > Tell me some time it isn't muddy in most decent > trail places. ? I only rarely see any mud where I ride. Something about being in a desert climate. Even if it does rain, the air is so dry that the moisture gets sucked up almost instantly. We've had some mud recently, but that's because of an extremely unusual several weeks of rain. I wouldn't expect to see weather like this again for a few decades. It's all over now, though, and we're back to dust and rocks as usual. -- monique |
