My younger brother and his friends , who are all downhill oriented mountain bikers swear by their 5-10's.The bottom has a sticky rubber developed for climbing shoes that works really well jumping off cliffs and such. They look pretty klunky but work well if you don't like clipless pedals.
I prefer the foot and leg alignment provided by well fitting clipless pedals and the rigid platform seems more efficient for my cycling pursuits. Even when I take short rides to the market on my town bike I feel like my feet can't find the right position, so all of my other bikes use clipless pedals. ~mike On Wednesday, December 12, 2012 11:49:42 PM UTC-8, Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery wrote: > > Here's a more direct link to the manifesto.
