Clip one side, clipless the other...an old idea worth rehashing?
Anyone tried these?
They certainly look better than the old Shimano ones....
Hmmm... Certainly look better than the shim ones.
I suppose it will polarise opinion along the usual lines. "Worst of both worlds" or a good compromise solution.
Bit pricey though.
I rode a mate's bike the other day briefly and I think these were on there, or something very similar. Firstly they were very hard to clip into. Maybe my cleats were too recessed? - don't know. But having to look down, flip the pedal over and then clip? Nah. So I am in the worst of both camps on this.
Yeah thought this might be the case really.
Quite a good idea in theory but in the real world not very practical.....
Some years ago I had Surly LHT which I used as a commuter and utility bike (miss it dearly). Since I also used it to grocery runs and such I installed some Shimano A530 hybrid pedals.
They were absolutely awful, the side I needed was never up, no predictability whatsoever which what you need the most on pedals. And this was only on road, paths and very light trails.
