The 2.35 came this weekend and is supposedly a newer tread pattern than the 2.25 ones I got off of Jenson USA... what doesn't make sense though is that the 2.25 to me seems to have a better tread pattern/design, is lighter, and the tire wall graphics lettering is more lively and brighter... There are different "varieties". I forget which mine is. I.e. They have a few different levels of the Nobby Nic. tread compounds etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fudge_Brownie Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I went through a phase where I was all about clipless. But eventually I realized I was holding myself back because I'd push myself in a turn, the front would wash a bit, but I wouldn't get too adventurous with my inside foot still clipped in. Clipping out before the turn didn't work that great either, as it was too much mental effort. So I decided to give flats a try again. Not sure I'll go back. Also, how is clipless still the default term? It's impressively misleading. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyfishing3 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I'm not good enough to clip in on a mtn bike but road, I wouldn't be caught without them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmsgltr Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 With my minimal experience on both types of bikes... I would agree 100% with you^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruecatinat Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Clipless is a complete misnomer, agree. Surprised the majority of the MTB guys in here do platforms - last time I ran them I came over a rock feature, my foot slipped off the pedal, and the pedal gouged my leg bigtime. Nothing against them, but I quickly learned to clip in/clip out, those took a while to heal Edited March 9, 2017 by ruecatinat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
