I had a spare 2 hours today and for once there was no howling gale...in fact it was pretty calm so I made the most of my 2 hour ride in lovely dry Spring like weather 34 miles today so my run of consecutive 50 mile rides has come to an end but if ever there was a day to end it this was it, I just couldn't have picked a better day at this time of year I bought myself a set of Hope F20 flat pedals and at first I thought it might be a mistake as it was so strange riding without being clipped in or strapped in (it must be at least 20 years since I last used flats) but after about 10 miles it had become second nature and I then knew I had made a very wise purchase, these pedals have so much grip!
The only time my foot came off was when I hit a nasty pothole but no harm done thankfully! These pedals come with the pins detached so it lets you decide whether to attach them or not, I decided to attach them to one side of the pedals only which meant I had one side completely flat and I have to say the grip was still pretty good without the pins! I think in rainy weather it might be a different story but time will tell, not that I want rain to test them A fun afternoon was had and what a difference it makes when the weather plays ball for once
