I haven't tried any foot retention in years. It could be that clipless have improved over the years but I haven't tried them in at 15 years or longer. I have, uh, interesting, knees and ankles. I am missing half of the cartilage on my right knee and I am somewhat bow legged. I could never get comfortable on clipless and inevitably some part of my right leg would hurt no matter how I adjusted them. When I first started riding, I used clips and straps and had no trouble with my legs but I have wide feet and I found that getting the strap tight enough to be useful resulted on my pinkie toe going numb after a while. When I finally tried just using a flat pedal, I knew I would never go back. It was way too comfortable.
The only thing I miss about using SPD's is the feeling of being more connected to the bike. Throwing it around on trails was easier. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
