2:24 he scratches his leg
3:05 you can see where he got cut
Bikes don’t like being laid down on the cassette side
Hii guys i see your shop,can you delivery to indonesia?
I always think this is a hazard for me due to the fact that sometimes drivers will cross me and I won’t be able to react fast enough to the point that it will make things worse because I’ll be launched w my bike attached to me.
Anybody using 3 hole road shoes and two hole mtb cleats?
What adapter are you using and did you need to readjust everything?
Why you ask? Because those Fizik R1 knit shoes in Petrol Blue and yellow are sexy! I could change to a "Road" pedal but well… Matt
Why are they called "Clipless" when they are "clip-in". Doesn’t that mean they have clips and by definition are not clipless?
When starting out remember, If your cleat is to far forward on your shoe, it is much harder to unclip as you have to move your ankle a greater distance. get your LBS to help you position them.
Another wonderful unassuming video.
When I first switched over I had small piece of red electrical tape on my handlebars a a ‘visual mental jog’ to not forget to unclip when slowing to a stop. Worked a treat and its second nature now. Double sided flat / spd pedals are also worth a look if you sometimes want to ride in non cycling specific footwear. Also don’t be embarrassed about using spd pedals on a road bike – nobody can tell when you are actually pedalling, and yes mtb/leisure type shoes are much easier to walk in.
How do you know if your gay
This was the most helpful video about clipping in that I’ve found. Cheers!
I have a nimble road master for all the old folks out thare
Two very informative goof-balls. I had a good laugh while learning how to clip in 😀🚴🏻♂️
When I got my first road bike, I removed the SPD pedals and put some standard platforms on there because I was terrified of the idea of locking myself to my bike. When I got a new bike, I opted to get Forte Boulevard pedals that are platform on one side and SPD on the other. Within 2 days of riding, I regretted every single mile I’ve spent on a platform pedal in my life. Sometimes I feel like I should have just gotten dual-entry SPD pedals, but those couple of times I just needed to run up to the store and didn’t want to put my cycling shoes on, I’ve appreciated the platforms (except I kept taking my feet off the pedals because I forget I can’t pull up on them in the back)
SPD
Very informative! Thanks guys!
okey now I need to see a sleepover-pillow-fight between ollie and james.
1:45 Don’t be making fun of walking! 👣
The first bike was created by someone who *walked* to his workshop
Guys, you forgot the most important info for beginners: when you’re coming to a real or potential stop, clip out with the leading foot before you get there! You can rest your foot on the pedal, and if the light changes, click back in and take off. But if you come to a stop and then decide to clip out, it will likely be too late.
Are there different clear sizes? I ask because I bought a used road bike with clip pedals and my cleats don’t fit in there and I don’t want to destroy anything… ( please excuse my bad English I am from Germany)
How do you stay still and upright with these eg at stop lights
Ollie’s Wahoo limited edition is back XD
I just noticed the blood on Ollie’s leg lmfao, what the hell did he do putting down that bike?
Used clipless pedals for the first time today. Fell off when I stopped for the first time. Injured my wrist and elbow.
Wish I had seen this useful video first.
My friend gave me some pedals and now I know what they are. They are off road pedals. I didn’t know what shoes to buy for them. This gives me a relative idea of what to look for. Thanks.
I missed Matt Dan and Simon here😧
If only the shoes and peddles weren’t so damn expensive. I’m still rocking toe straps on my road bike.
That’s a killer walk Ollie !!! LOL
Thumbs up if you’ve ever fallen over at a stop/light, despite being experienced with clip-in pedals! 🙂
No , think I will stay with flats, far to dangerous in a emergency 👍
Me watching this after falling 20 times. …😕😅
Thank you for the video.
For me as a beginner its a bit scary, clip in OK, but clip out and specially when something suddenly jumps out in front of you, thats what I am afraid of
Yep I fell
Clipping in is easy. But how do i clip out mate. I’m standing with half my legs on the bike searching for videos to clip out…
I’m prolly gonna get smacked by others on here for this… but really ???..
Listen I grew up skateboarding now I’m 30 and been roadbiking for last 2 years got a scott road bike 60mm with shomano 105s components I know wassup.. but with pedals just go old school none of this soccer cleet bs… and what’s with the spandex and helmets these dudes look lil gay…just had to say this OK I feel better peace
I would like to know why the SPD clikpedals (used for the mTB) aren’t good enough for a race bike.
For the "road-style" (Look, SPD-SL, etc.), you really should talk about getting the pedal right side up for clipping in. You briefly showed it when clipping in the leading foot, but don’t go into any detail on it. It’s a bit more tricky on the move, with the second foot, especially without looking – and for safety’s sake, you don’t want to be looking down at your pedals when starting off in an intersection.
needed how to adjust the pedals size and how tight to get the clips
Do you use clip in pedals? How long have you used them for? 👇
Poor boys…
On the green bike I saw a change Shimano Tiagra
Like to support their effort because of the change of s**t
що за клоуни перекос цепі роблять
Those shorts make you look like you have a pussy
This is funny cause i was holding on the wall and still fall with spd
Hi, I have been riding downhill and Enduro for 3 years now and I still ride flats
It’s not a race mate. 😂
whats type of bike with flat bar?
What are the advantages of "clipless" over clips and straps?
Is there a preference between SPD and SPD-SL for Road bike shoes ?
Could you use road bike pedal s on a XC bike
Gaaarh fix your helmet strap!
Tried them for the first time…fell twice😂
