Last Thursday, after a long while, we all went to GONZO PARK.
Nabetaku tried dirt jumping for the first time! He's got real momentum.
I rode a lot for the first time in a while, so my back is sore.
The muscles you use really differ depending on the bike you ride.
One of the reasons I went to GONZO PARK this time was that I wanted to try out these pedals.
These are nylon pedals from the Canadian mountain bike components brand RACEFACE.
They are 15mm thin, comparable to aluminum pedals, and weigh 340g.
I thought they would be good for pump tracks and dirt jumping, so I tried them out the other day, and
once you place your foot on them, they grip the sole so well that you can't even shift your foot position.
It's frightening to think what would happen if your foot slipped off the pedal.
They seem like they would be great for trail riding, and I'm planning to try them for downhill as well.
I'll write about it on the blog when I do.
Another appeal is the color variety unique to nylon pedals.
There is one more color, BLACK, in the lineup, and it is scheduled to arrive soon.
