Wow, this looks so cool

the wilhelm scream @1:30 was great!!

Было пару опасных моментов, но круто!

Haven't switched to clips yet, but I ride flats with the ball of foot forward of the axle, and feel much more planted that way.

Sos mi ídolo!!!

Rafaella "Roxy" Wieschollek. Roxy Ride and Inspire has some thoughts on foot position and flat pedals.

Any plans to bring the slip on Five Ten back? It's absolutely perfect for city riding.

Berm peaks ride home lmao

How about the effect of offsetting the cleat from the centre line (side to side)? Or the angle of the cleat? So much to cover.

Thank you Ben for another very informative and enjoyable video. You are a giant in the world of bike journalism. Not only in stature but in talent and accomplishment. You also have a wonderful sense of humor. Your videos are top notch.

They should be called 'click-in' pedals.

Wow this iS amazing I recommend you to try summiting to mount Kenya then take a safari to samburu,,

💯💯💯

As someone who dabbles with his MTB simply due to time (I skate, surf, road cycle for fitness)....I didn't know that Enduro and DH riders even clipped in?? No wonder they look so bloody glued to the bikes! I thought it was just good technique of driving their weight down through to the pedals! 🤯 I'm confused..lol

I used to have my cleats in the middle. In an enduro comp with longer stages, my calves were burning. Decided to slide the cleat further back just for a test, and never moved them forward. Then went to ride flats just to keep those bunny hops clean.

До миллиона

As a bmxer i always looked at mountain bikers backwards for doing this. If this is where they are supposed to be why wouldnt shoe companies design the cleat slots to be further back on DH shoes? Seems like the cool thing to do rather than the right thing to do

Good data review 👍🏻👍🏻

When will the shoe be available again? it is no longer available worldwide.

i think your show size matters quite a bit, if you have a smaller foot, maybe you don’t need to adjust them as far back. in summary, just find a roadie with your shoe size and do the opposite 😂

In down hill you want them at the back as your spending most of your time hanging of the back of the bike. 🚲👍

I use extension plates to mount my cleats 35mm behind the pivot point of my ankle.

ben cathro is a crazy nerd... i love it!

I've always slammed my cleats all the way back

Can we address the weakness of the 510 cleat nuts?

A decent convincing piece of advertising. I’m straight off to buy some Helcats. Only Cathro could do that and get me to the end of the video.

Paracardium 6. I'll research it, thank you.

that flat land though xD

👏👏👏📽️😎

Great content, as always. It’s something I hadn’t thought about much before. It would be good to have Ben interview a bunch of XC riders on the same subject, as the other end of the off road spectrum. As they have to consider going uphill too, I wonder where they would find the sweet spot.

👏👏👏🙂📽️

Would be also interesting to talk to Rachel Atherton about where she likes her cleats positioned - whether the leverage had any impact on her breaking achilles tendon.

informative video, that was great!!!

Why are a lot of the five ten shoes out of stock everywhere in Australia? Always wear the freerider in grey and can’t find any in stock anywhere apart from huge leftover sizes.

DH all the way back , trail middle ish .

Very Interesting Great Vid , I have been a flat pedal guy forever, born from my BMX days Long Long ago , I was thinking of trying clips but I only Ride Trail on my MTB is there any benefit or is it just preference ??? I can see the benefit For DH .

Danny Hart with the simplest explanation, its what we were taught when guiding in Whistler, and even on my road bike I run them as far back as they go.

It would be interesting to hear from xc riders and the effect of the cleat position on pedaling dynamics.

I actually dremel my slots about 1/4" further back. I like to have my cleats about where they would be on flats.

I don't ride true downhill, but I do jump, ride drops, and rocky sections. I also do a lot of pedaling as I am sure most mountain bikers do. When I do clip in, I mostly ride flats, I have the cleats about 1/2 way in the slots so the pedal is centered on the ball of my foot. I basically just place my cleats where I would have my foot on flats (platforms), which is the ball. I have mostly ridden flat pedals all my life since I am also a BMX rider so I do the same for mountain biking unless I am doing an event or something where I want to be faster and more efficient, then I run clipped in.

I have used SPDs since 1991, and I have *never* used that washer/shim/shield thingamabob between the cleat and the shoe, what witchcraft is this?!

why does adidas no longer produce the Hiangle?

Mountain biking since 94' with mallet cleats as far back as they go, it just feels right. Having cleats forward puts you off balance like you're on your toes.

The % difference in travel and force are the same if you calculate it right. I've always opted for more proactive travel, particularly since it's faster responding than your thighs. that was a head scratcher to see so many pros off the back.

I have previous model Kestral lace and want to get these. Is sizing same?

I feel like I am the only advocate for slippery pedals. It is how I learned to ride and how I prefer it 😂

Awesome film Giorgio! Clipping in... czcams.com/video/CcPF0A8dYWE/video.html

Ben please see what you can uncover in the world of Enduro riders regarding cleats, love the content
