Re: [RBW] Re: Clipless or Clips?
it's an allusion to putting a square peg into a round hole, assuming that would not be the personal choice of the OP and is leading the thread in the opposite direction of the original question. There is a tendency on forums that the longer the thread runs, the farther it gets from the topic, and may degrade into personal demands that one of the parties didn't intend or even want to be part of This thread is not about me - my last on topic post was sincere On Wednesday, August 10, 2016 at 8:06:21 AM UTC-5, Garth wrote: > > Ron , Steve's question is quite simple and sincere to me, I've never > heard that term either. > > If you meaning pegging someone into personality traits, as in identifying > one personally as a trait or set of traits, then I get it.

Ron , Steve's question is quite simple and sincere to me, I've never heard that term either. If you meaning pegging someone into personality traits, as in identifying one personally as a trait or set of traits, then I get it. Otherwise not.

I'm confused - "personal pegs" have to do with caffeine? Is this a euphemism for a morning BM? You're just not making any sense to me, Ron. And yes, I've already had my coffee this morning.

Re: [RBW] Re: Clipless or Clips?
Thanks Patrick, That was probably my post about the shoes - I put the report on CR added them to a shoe topic on iBoB. I really like them - they do the job I bought them for, they're lightweight, cool, plenty stiff, easy in and out of the toe straps - and look better than I need. Honestly, I'd take a new pair of my old Avocet touring shoes from 1978 if somebody made them... I think the benchmark touring shoe today is the Quoc Pham Fixed - perfect touring sole, but to me, the style looks too dressy (good for work), but also the design - my foot needs the longer laces/tongue of the Mamnick style. The Mamnicks were also a little cheaper than the Quoc Pham. Oh, and I wasn't counting any of the SPD shoes. Just touring soles.

Re: [RBW] Re: Clipless or Clips?
Those are beautiful shoes; they came up recently on either the boblist or the CR list. I also came across Hasus shoes (Taiwan) who have "retro" models, and of course Dromarti. Y'know, I always change back to clipless in the end, and what I will probably do is simply get a pair of RX-1s or old Campys, get my Rivats fixed, and ride that combination until I get my fill of the system and the urge goes away for another five or 10 years. Still, it's fun to use C&S from time to time.
