9. Should you MTB on clipless or flat pedals?

When mountain biking should you ride on clipless (clip-in) or flat pedals? While there are many “experts” with very strong opinions (which they are not afraid to share), Kristin and Steve discuss the truth which is – there are advantages and disadvantages to each.They start with a look back at the evolution of the “clip-less” pedal, and the rise in popularity of flats, as well as discuss why it’s okay to hold back on offering unsolicited advice to riders, regardless of what is on their feet. Special thanks to Justin for allowing us to share the perfectly perfect picture of him jumping his mtb with toe clips.They also share why you don’t need to use a blow torch to fix your brakes (unless you want to ruin them), and the most recent article from Consumer Reports regarding helmet safety.Send us Fan MailSupport the showLeave a comment, question or topic suggestion for future episodes.Find Cycling Together with Kristin and Steve on YouTube for Closed Captioned video version.You can visit CyclingTogether.Bike for show notes or to learn more about Kristin and Steve.
