Thank you If you listen to anything Commander Bond says, I'd avoid the Time ATAC because he's just about replaced every single part of them over the last few months - not including the finger he's having to regrow today. ;-) Do you want to race/go fast or do you want something more multi-purpose that you can walk/tramp around in too? -- Westie |

Me personally, I was thinking about trying the Egg Beaters. The egg beaters are good, if you like to be clicked in all the time. I've had Time ATACs for years, but I've recently switched to Time ATACs that also have a cage around them, as I find myself clicked out a lot. There's a new version of egg beaters with a cage, too. For shoes, I've always bought last year's model on sale. I have Nike right now. -- Bob M in CT Remove 'x.' to reply |

As far as being clicked in all the time, that's never been much of a problem here. We pretty much have fast flowing single track in the deep south. No technical rocky terrain to deal with. The only time I worry about clicking out is whe I come to one of those insane drops I refuse to ride. |

If you can stay clicked in a lot, I'd go for the egg beaters (although I haven't tried them). They look interesting to me. -- Bob M in CT Remove 'x.' to reply |
