“Like every other rider who changed from flat-pedals to clipless probably should have done it sooner, I can't really compare these to other clipless pedals as they are my first set.
But comparing to mountainbiking with flat pedals (roads, gravel roads, fire-trails and the odd cool downhill section) the pro's; better control of the bike on the fast loose stuff, you don't lose the pedals over the bigger jumps, smoother pedalling overall.
Cons; still prefer flat pedals for the slow technical stuff (rocky creek beds etc), at some stage you will simply fall over when you come to a stop, thought you had unclipped, but were still clipped in.”
