trials / parkour/ whatever bikes are fairly inexpensive, and light they are not, as light and sound beatings do not go hand in hand. The work those guys do in a day is honest. Leech is a BEAST (bro is my hero on the mountain circuit, esp. downhill gnarly madness)

I didn't really talk about prices and I can't tell if they are or aren't wearing any but I don't see why they wouldn't. You get much higher jumps with them.

Also, I've likely biked more kilometers on a bicycle in 1 summer than you have in your life.

The price comment was directed at Memph. As i didn't quote you isn't hard to see that.

I've just finished a 40 mile loop climbing over 2000ft. I know that's not much but tomorrow i'll do the same again and on Friday i'll do at least 50+.

2010 I did 1800 mi, Elv Gain 99000 ft.
2011 I did 1300 mi, Elv Gain 70000 ft.
2012 i'm at 700 mi, Elv Gain 8000 ft.

I'm not even trying, this is just riding for fun and health.

Anyway, what has you doing miles on a bike got to do with you knowing everything about this subject and blatantly making stuff up after seeing a video? Then expecting people to believe some idiot that thinks dealing drugs and fighting is inspirational.

PS, you don't see why someone on a trial bike wouldn't use CLIP IN peddles?? :tard:

Edit: Also randomly almost ran over Frank Bruno as he was collecting litter off the side of the road...

I know why some might not but I'm sure some do, you just have more control over the bike in the air. I know because I've been there.

I used to race downhill and cross country and even won at a national event against sponsored riders. I often jumped 15-20ft jumps on a regular basis but not like they did, down a track/obstacle course. I know the value of clipless pedals. Once you're used to them it's easy to pop out of if you need to.

BTW, we call them clipless pedals as clipped pedals are the ones with those big ass clips that fit over your toes, might be a regional thing.

FYI, those are impressive numbers for cycling, most don't cycle that much. When I was racing I cycled 40km/s on my off days and 170+ every other day. The trip was from a small village named Richibuctou Village to a city called Moncton if you care to check the mileage on google maps. I went both ways, there and back in one day and would take me 8 hours on my mountainbike and around 6ish hours on my road bike.

So unless you're going to tell me the reason why they wouldn't use clipless pedals I don't see why they wouldn't. You get more power, better jumps and more control so yeah... I'm still not following you.

The only thing I could THINK might be a reason is to be able to bail easily and I raced in some pretty technical courses but would still take clipless over nothing.

I clip in for XC. I wouldn't dream of clipping in for DH, ever, and i don't know anyone who does. I've met this guy a few times at events in North Wales and he uses flats.

Yeah but you've yet to state why which I've asked twice now. IF you don't clip in, why is that? Wouldn't they get better jump distance? More control? I obviously don't do stunt jumps I was just into racing.

It improves lead pipe fighting while dealing drugs in clubs.

Also stops Danny from frequent visits to hospital :dork:

So instead of your diatribe you couldn't just say, "It's for bailing out"? I guess I can see that if you'd want to bail out on top of a rail, might be awkward with clipless.

You're a great guy Doombrain, why'd you come back again?

Totally.

It seems Kracus is still a complete tool desperately trying to impress anyone and for some reason Tsakali seems to have turned into some angry virgin in the last six months.

Everyone has pointed it out to him but he ignores it...like he's not an angry virgin or something.

I'm not 100% certain why platform vs. clip but it seems that platform pedals are more stable for the simple reason that at mach speed it's nearly impossible to re-clip if you 'click out,' which is a frequent occurrence on the bumps in my experience.
DB what do you do to stay in shape during mud season? I've got the itch but can't seem to find a clean trail. :olo: took a hard dump on the icebergs a few weekends back.

I kind of slip in the winter. The road bike goes on a turbo trainer and I do x3 45-60 min per week at 2% climb keeping the HR to 150-165bpm.

the wife bought me some Gore winter stuff so my mates and I get out at the weekend on the MTB XC trails dotted up and down the UK in the rain/snow/ice. I did a race A few months back which was great fun. Loads of huge water holes, ice and mud. I didnt do too bad, think I finished in the top 30% out of 300.

what a rutted technical nightmare. Reminds me of the LT MTB 50, 30 spots on the trail were crater ponds, and 1 section at altitude was capped with hike-a-bike slush/snow. What are you rocking these days, hardware wise?
