Hi All

Climbing ain't easy!!! 17.5st is a lot to get up hills and Mountain Mayhem is fast approaching... unsure.gif

Do they really make such a difference? Do they work with XC riding, esp with lots of mud?!!!

Heard a few horror stories of not being able to unclip and then having a slo-mo fall, or mud getting to thick, not being able to get cleats back on and then not being able to pedal... hmmm

If it's a goer what do people recommend...?

Cheers!

Team Asparagus, MM 2010!

WD40 is for spraying onto things that you think you should be performing some kind of maintenance on but have no clue where to start or what to do.
