Yeah, i've seen reload backpacks in the flesh.
Good bags...but for some reason i don't like them looks wise...but thats a personal thing....don't let that put you off. :)

nice one cheers - know what you mean about the looks though - bit school satchell-esque! prefer the more-rounded aesthetics of yours. Why do your bags have to be so damn fucking good, it makes buying anything else feel like such a half-hearted compromise ;-)

scott - whilst "your here"! Desperate for one of your new midsize backpacks but know you're snowed....having problems waiting much longer though.... have you ever seen these from RE Load in the flesh? any good?

http://reloadbags.com/bags/midpack.php

nope- I see why they appeal to so many people....well made, can't see any accidental unclips happening etc....but my knees are a bit shot and the SPDs just work better for me. each to their own and all that...mind you, reason I changed is the bearings failed on my M520 spds after 3 years so for durability they're a bit shite compared ot the more solid ATACs

i've got 540's at home would love to trade, used twice i think, but i won't be home for a few weeks. If you can wait.

have PMd you

thanks Dixon - gonna see if I can trade with flick if not I'll come back to you and Cornelius

seb I'll take them off your hands for £30, unless you find someone else to swap them with..

ok chees - gimme a bit of time to see if anyone will trade and if not I'll give you a shout back

will sell or trade for Shimano PD-M540.

New, used for the last few days but just don't on with 'em - too difficult to disengage for my dodgy knees so want to go back to SPDs.

The ROCs are £43 on wiggle at the moment in a 20% off deal. Will sell for £30 if that sounds realistic but ideally i'd like to swap for some M540s - used or will pay the difference.

nice one - cheers

I hoping I find the knack soon then kowalski!

see what you're saying messenjah on the 13 vs 17 - ive got em on 13 - didnt help that the soles of my shoes were blocking release so i've just carved some sole away which has helped a bit. Seems weird though that you need to be so careful about which shoes work with ATAC pedals - despite cutting the soles they're still not perfect and it means the soles no longer protect the cleats when I walk - have you got any recomendations for MTB shoes that work well with ATAC ROC's? cheers again...really need the advice otherwise I'm gonna have to ditch these and go back to SPDs....in which case look for these soon in the classieds/swap thread!

It helps if you push down with your toes a bit so the back of the cleat moves in a bigger arc, rather than twisting around the centre of the cleat.

i.e. only your heel should move outwards rather than a bit outwards at the heel and a bit inwards at the toe.

Does that make sense?

yeah, cheers - once I read it for the third time anyway! will give it a go tomorrow :-)

as above, but make sure the rubber parts of your shoe's sole are not catching the pedal at all

good thought, cheers - think i remember seeing that mentioned in another ATAC thread...sometimes need to cut out some rubber from what I recall?

Which is what makes them more secure! The cleats wear in a bit which eases things up after a week or two.

reviving this thread it's exactly about my problem - just fitted ROC but man are they difficult to disengage from....makes sense what you're saying about them wearing in after a couple of weeks but how do i stop myself from falling over each time I can't unclip..which is pretty much every time at the moment!

just fitted some ROC's - seem well built but i didn't realise there's no adjustment..anyway, compared to the worn out SPDs I've just taken off they're almost impossible to unclip from - in fact I can't unclip them! any had the same problem with ROC's?

cheers guys...
there 20% off at wiggle at the minute so not bad at £29 for a new pair

kinda dumb question but I've surfed the search and read the thread and can't find an answer....do I need to change the Shimano cleats on my shoes if I buy Time Atac Alium's?

and to raise an argument that's been had many times before....are these pretty much the best pedals for less than 30 quid?

I recommend the KMC Z610HX for 3/32 (and the Z510HX for 1/8)

nice one - cheers olo

cheers Mr Furry - any advice on 3/32 chains for fixed usage? Is it a case of more dollars gives better performance and strength?

gotta be the best looking/built cycling backpack there is

One of these jackets, one of these base layers, some of these tights, pair of these gloves, a pair of 3/4 lengths, a wool hat and I'm as snug as the proverbial bug. But my nose and eyes have to take the pain.

hello squire - how do the sealskinz gloves size up? I'm usually M but in Gore gloves I'm an L so want to order the right ones.

woo!

grand - PM'd prav

Thanks for waiting though :)

wo worries - say your prayers tonight and who know what will turn up tomorrow

what have I stepped into - not sure if I want the bag to go to such a twisted home
waiting for VB to let me know if he wants it - if not I'll come back to y'all

I'd say 2.5 midgets if you arrange them well.

noted Tommy - will get back to you too

ok cheers - i'll see what VB says then - if not one of you guys
