All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

Went on a ride down Mt Wilson today, man it was clear, beautiful day



It was great, until i was riding home on the road, and the cleat wouldn't release from my pedal, and I fell over in the middle of an intersection. Turns out the screws that hold the cleat on the shoe are loose, so the cleat isnt turning and not releasing. I had to take my shoe off to get off the bike



So now I have to figure out how to get the shoe off the pedal... I figure I'll have to stick a screwdriver in the pedal and pry it open...

 

Oh man, same exact thing happened to me! I ended up having to pull the hinged part of the pedal apart with a pair of flathead screwdrivers to release the cleat.

 

What the Fuh? That's kinda funny. Especially if you're watching someone fall off their bike and take their shoe off to be able to get off their bike. Did you put it back on to pedal home? Or did you pedal one-footed? lolz.
Sorry, nothing helpful here.

Today I got some new shiny bits. I'm such a sucker for Hope bits. These things are so damn purdy.

 

I’m stilling planning to mount them. I have a pair of NSP skis unmounted in my basement still.

 

That that happened to me a few weeks ago...so annoying. I think I did what you’re saying, just pried it off. You might be able to get some access from inside the shoe too

 

In September I made it to the Keystone Bike Park. I was there the last weekend open for the season. i managed to log 40 miles.

I think this was the most fun day I’ve had at anything -




I love riding Skinny’s!

 

Yesterday was one of those near-perfect days. Hero dirt and good company

Wrong. Don’t listen to me.

Nice! About to order them when I get to work haha

 

what coupon?

 

Did you click the link?
20% off with code GEARUP2019

Sorry, I am assuming you or anyone else are members.

 

yes, it's considered in ineligible item.

 

Yeah that’s referencing the full price or outlet item. Either way $75 is a good deal!

 

Gotcha. Guess it’s only 50% off that item.

 

ugh, how dare you not successfully get me a better deal on an already great deal.

 

Yea I just assumed it was an outlet item. My apologies to all I’ve lead astray.

 

Haha got my hopes up! I assumed they were outlet at that price but it’s all good. I just ordered them and a thermal jersey anyways haha

 

Man, I cant wait to go back to Colorado. Keystone looks like a good time.
