any thoughts on MTB XC/Xterra/duathlon using cleated pedals... somethiung like SPDs?
Would logically give better pedalling etc, but am concerned that the nature of off road cycling may not lend itself to having to clip out in times of "emergency" on a trail etc :-)
If pedals and cleats are not suitable for these reasons what do people use to stop their feet sliding everywhere on the "open" pedals?
cheers

Hope this helps!
I've been using crankbros candy c's for a while now, dirt cheap, mud proof (well, almost) and easy to clip in/out.
I also use the same pedals and mtb shoes on my tri bike, always laugh when I see peple trying to clip into one sided road pedals.......plus, I can walk wearing my mtb shoes!
Once you try clipless, there's no turning back.....
if you're purely downhill then look at platform spd's.
