I think that is accurate.
The time atac trend was all people being like “you cant ride spds, it’s not safe!” must ride the same vintage clipless pedals all the mess bros ride.
I tried to mtb in time atacs when i first got a mtb and was like nope and promptly got SPDs.
I loved everything about ATACs except how heavy they were and how fast the cleats wore out.
ATAC 4 lyfe here. i would entertain crank bros again since i hear they are good now, but @schultzor (i think) sent me some practically new pedals and cleats and in order to wear out bike parts to buy new bike parts, i would have to ride bikes
yeah I don’t recall exactly how I ended up with that trove of ATACs but I decided to send them off to another home
I switched back to crank bros on the NFE for reasons I now forget, they’re perfectly cromulent. Don’t remember why I changed to SPDs in the first place, maybe so I had the same pedals on multiple bikes? iunno
Thanks for the offer but I ride 70% dirt roads, 20% single track, and 10% pavement or thereabouts
do crank brothers still eject your foot if you hit the bottom of the pedal on a rock?
I simply don’t ride near rocks.
How secure are the multi-release SPD cleats? Use case is commuting and non-technical dirt/gravel.
If you don’t think too much about it, I don’t think you’ll notice.
Sir, this is tarck.
If you never pull up on the pedals, you should be fine.
I’ve had them eject when trying to get back behind the saddle on steeper stuff . I only run the single release after a code brown moment.
I think I remember once noticing that I’d been riding some for a year without realizing it. I never noticed any difference, but that’s likely an indicator of my non-aggressive riding style.
think it depends on your pedaling style - I’ve had the multi-release cleats disengage unexpectedly while riding on pavement and it was unsettling enough for me to swap them out that same day.
