Zach here's the deal-Nobody starts out with any skills on platforms. You just have to commit to using platforms and feeling like a jong for a while. Get a decent set of platforms(Not Rob's old beat "Primo's"), some good bike shoes made for platforms with a good grippy tread pattern and a stiff sole, and most importantly some quality knee/shin pads. Then after a month or so of riding platforms you won't ever ride Marker pedals again.:wink:

Whoa, a 7X post, that may be a first.
And yeah, for urban you just really need to learn the platform steeze.
For clipless, the above can't be beat.
Might take up on that offer. But I thought the only person who built up 35+ lb hardtails was schral.;)Quote:

Unable to find some Atac Z's on the cheap, I bit for a pair of Mallet errrrrr Marker C's
I know several dudes who run c's on their dh bikes and swear by them.Quote:
