Road cleats have narrower release angles as well.
Most road cleats have a release angle <10 degrees.
Most MTB cleats have a much wider release angle (eggbeaters have either a 15degree or 20degree option)
My road pedals are also much stiffer to get in/out of than my mtb ones (but this is maybe just down to the pedals i have)

Some times we do. I use SPDs for commuting because it involves a reasonable amount of walking the bike.
On the weekend though it's Keos all the way.

She is getting a bit tubby though!
Looking forward to seeing them on the Heckler.
Does this mean another DH meet to test them out?
Damn right it does!!

Bahh I'm sure it's all worth it on the downhills.
Is the Heckler still under warranty with a 170mm fork?

Hi all.
I've just started riding into work on my new bike (Specialized Allez 16). For the first time since I've been commuting it rained today. My bike is left out in the car park behind the building so there's no overhead cover. Was just wondering if there's any 'maintenance' I should do on it if I know it's going to rain as sitting outside in the rain for 8 hours probably isn't going to help it much.
Thanks.

All the current literature says up to 160mm recommended, but when the new Heckler came out it said upto 170mm for a few months.
10mm won't make much difference and SC won't mind. They told a pal that a 130mm fork was fine on his Superlight (120mm max recommended). Quite a few people run 160mm forks on the older Heckler (150mm max recommended).
Mountain bike manufacturers have to make head tubes handle way more than the bike is designed for by law now anyway. Forget the exact details.
PS... Ichabod crane can't climb with his fork at 100mm never mind 170mm
Get yourself a waterproof bike cover. Think i'v seen them in tesco, they dont cost much.
