clipless penny loafers ftw
i got in on the arrospok group buy. but this is ridiculous. if these are anything like my last nikes, they’ll be fucked up in 4 months.
i’m thinking they will most likely be a little different than your last nikes.
But one could make the same argument for putting a king headset in a bike… cool yes… but also a waste of money.[/quote]
lets compare the pricing shall we
hows yours holding up
I’m interested, if the price is right (150ish)
I’d never pay more than $20 for a pair of ugly-ass Nike shoes, no matter what.
This shit is fucking dumb.
To: Jim
High five and agreement.

they dont fit SPD road cleats
but anyways, theyre too bulky
if they made vans era shoes with SPD road cleats, id be all over it
Ben,
A King headset was relevant when there were no other options out there for a durable sealed headset. But these days even Canecreek can make something for under $50 that functions just as well as a King. I have a King but I will be the first to admit that it’s for looks and is totally not worth the premium over a Canecreek or FSA sealed headset.
sidi dom 5 group buy ftw
i mean, i thought we were comparing king headsets to nikes. comparing to other headsets and the practicality, the extra 5 bucks over my cane creek S2 or the tange technoglide that never worked, ill opt for the king that never needs a bearing replacement. maybe alittle grease one day far away.

I fucked up a sealed canecreek something good. Even with trying to keep that shit clean and greased it got gritty and pitty as fuck within a year.
got an extremely used king off a bike I parted out. That shit is ten times more smooth and so far I havent even thought about it as being on my bike, which for a headset is how it should be.
but in general I would agree. King’s are not the only durable hs anymore. I hear they’re still the standard in downhill though.

Then you get replaceable soles.

I had to throw down an emergency high speed Ted Shred the other day due to a dropped chain and wore 70% of the way through the sole on my Doms in one stop.
I dropped a chain on a road ride on possibly the biggest country hill I’ve ever been down, scrubbed my foot into the rear tire and barely wore through that pleather stuff… but I realized at that point that Ted Shreddin’ it was futile and just rode out the hill, chainless, until I came to a stop.
Luckily there was no one else around.
