You wanna see a fuss, you should see me on a sunny day on my Mega infront of a pretty blonde. I'd prefer to be behind, if I'm honest!?

I could potentially do it on the 6th...or 8th...but it will depend on weather...since I would have to take a holiday for it, I'd rather if it's good weather...since I envisage in the summer having better chances of great riding opportunities!...if you know what I mean!?

Think I'll stick with 2x10 at the moment. It's a great combo...and I was a bit reluctant to change to 1x11...but was forced to do it and to be honest, it's great! With 32 front with 11-40 cassette, I can ride everything (even that F£&@ing nasty climb we did the other day at the Peaks)...however if I was to do it again, I would go 34 oval with 11-42 cassette!

That's why I can't go.. Because I'm not stupid I thought it was because you are....pussyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!? The more the better...lets all share the pain! The bigger the group the more the wind won't affect us!

Considering I have black forks, shock with all the gold bits, these would look great! Get them bought!!! They would fit really well in terms of color co-ordination...and that is good for my OCD!? Lol...I'm still considering...

I would love to see someone doing this type of shit! Besides a good beating and a few broken bones, I would leave them naked in the trails! Fucking idiots! Report to police I would say!

I would just get some new normal vaults for 70 with the peace of mind that you can return them if break within warranty. Vaults are by far the best pedal I've had, not the lightest but the best. The guy who is selling the Vaults for 100 quid has the receipt in case anything goes wrong!

If I get flats it will be either Vaults or the Burgtec's...based on what I've been reading, grip and durability mainly! I tried some 5-10 at Evans today to check my size! Maybe, next paycheck I will get some!

Considering I have black forks, shock with all the gold bits, these would look great! Until they're scuffed and muddy then you'll look like any other pedal!! I like my electrons, cheap and do the job spot on. Good point! Also thought about it tbh!

They need buying immediately LOLOLLLOOO It's like they were made specially for my bike right!? I'll need to think about it for a bit longer! But 70 quid off RRP is a good start!

I know a guy who wants to sell some new Vaults, Mag with the Ti spindles...they are mate black with gold spindles and those little screws! I mean, those would look perfect on my rig with the black forks and gold bits! Lol...100 quid he wants for them from 170 RRP! Those Vaults Brendogs look sexy as do the Burgtec as well. Got a pic? They sound great. The brendogs are gorgeous too. Considering I have black forks, shock with all the gold bits, these would look great!

I've got the Mag vaults on the Bird and Mooves on the Chief - I can honestly say that I can't tell any difference between the two - my feet are no grippier or more likely to slip on either (only difference, which you can't feel, is the Mags are a few grams lighter)- though I do have different shoes to Gaz so maybe, for some reason, the 5/10's don't get on with the Mooves. I agree about the Saints though - bloody awful pedals. I know a guy who wants to sell some new Vaults, Mag with the Ti spindles...they are mate black with gold spindles and those little screws!

Started off on SPD's and only really in the last year or so gone over to flats. Think it says everything that I'm in the process of selling my clipless shoes and last pair of SPD pedals. I've found since changing I am taking on bigger stuff with more confidence than before, I love the freedom to be able to move your feet about and therefore your body around the bike, my cornering has improved lots and lots since dumping the SPD's, the only thing that was better was the climbing - and I don't care about that! Took a while to crack the technique but now my feet hardly ever slip off the pedals. I was a fan of SPDs I admit... But I've jarred and twisted my ankles so much on tech trails... Not being able to bail quick enough... Or striking That I now use flats... I agree though SPDs do making Climbing easy... Like an E-bike! Is that your way of saying you were once ghey too?!? I did wonder if Hodgy was going to bite!? Lol

Excellent choice - looks similar to mine except mine has the QR clamp on the top as well. Can't fault em - mines on the back patio know and it'll stay there all summer probably! This one had a QR clamp on the top! Really big and easy to use! The big blue plastic thing on the top! I'm well impressed!

To be fair a pair of vaults or v12 with five tens and your feet are stuck to the pedals if I thought they were shit I would say they are shit but nope great pedals and your feet don't move .. My v12 originals are still going strong My new v12 are slimmer and a wider pedal . Still grippy a s hell Didn't like mooves pedals even changes the pins still didn't like them v 8 pedals were so so as well ... Burtec pedals felt very grippy they were on some of the demo bikes and Ian had a pair as well and got to say was impressed . The shimano saints pedals didn't feel very grippy and meet slipped off a lot won't be buying them .. Was quite good to try different pedals on some of the bikes Thanks mate...appreciated your opinion...
