First ride with clipless pedals in 10 years
My return to cycling has been an interesting one, I have realized just how out of shape I am since last year when I was in the gym every day. I recieved a set of Exustar SR930 road shoes from a friend on Bike Forums and wow, I paid $22 including shipping. These shoes were used about ~10 times and so comfortable. Riding clipless compared to toe-clips is a huge difference for me, with the solid base on the shoe and the cleat under the ball of my foot it gives me perfect application of power. When I purchased these pedals I was 14 so the release tension needed was much less then I need now. This causes a few problems, I have about 12 levels of tension on each pedal and at its tightest setting I found myself releasing by accident a couple of times. I wish I had the money to buy a new set and make myself a custom bike. I have greatly enjoyed the rides I have gone on despite how short they have been.
On a sad note it appears I lost my cyclecomputer. I placed it on the trunk of the car as I was putting my bike in the back seat and forgot about it. I drove two miles to my house before I remembered. I will be going up in the morning to try and find it, but my hopes are not very high. Since it has been 10 years buying a new one might be best, but I have bills and I also really liked that computer. The colors pattern matched the bike, it was compact, acurate, and still in perfect condition. I really hope I can find it.
