Flats (old skool 24Seven SLACKs) on both bikes. Going to get something lighter and thinner sometime. Maybe.

I ride all sorts inc , SS xc , downhill , cx all clipped in. Our xc rides usually involve some nice big gaps and jumps .
I feel more in control of the bike clipped in . Can lean it harder , pedal harder and generally feel more at one with it.

The only time i ride flats is when we are doing a dirt jump sesh ,bmx and when riding the big bike in the alps. Duno why i prefer the flats in the alps on the bouncy .

clipped in for everything.

Always flats, from long xc rides to messing about, cant see the point for me, i dont need my feet tied to the pedals any more than i need my hands tied to the bars..

I always used spd’s but had an off at Gisburn when I couldn’t get my foot out. As I ride alone (mid week due to shift work ) I felt flats would be safer. I use superstar nano’s and shimano flat shoes (am 40 somthing ) and have never looked back.
