Thanks for showing where the term clipless came from. I mean I knew, but for the sake of those that were (still) confused…Those came with my new ‘92 or 3 Rockhopper. What a pain in the arse on the trail !? Not great commuting either, with all the stop and go…
I took the toe clips and stripes and now my feet were all over the place. So I went “clipless” for almost 15 years. Now I’ve been on flats for the last 15. Thinking of trying clipless again. Those red Funn pedals look a lot like the Shimano DX I really liked…
