i have noticed lately that my right foot tend to slip or come off during a skid.
What can I do to stop it from slipping out ?
I have a steel toe clip with double straps. the straps are buckle and tightened properly.
If it’s not a mechanical problem as you have stated, then adjust you technique. Also what is your right foot doing? forcing down or up?
Simple answer > Wear cleats.
Problem solved
I think my foot is up. only happens when im going fast and trying to slow down by skidding.
thought about getting a clipless pedal but at the moment have much $$.
Yeh, I can see the problem: not enough NJS. Get a new bike.
Get brakes
You’ll need cleats, clips, double straps (and quads) like Robert:
How the fuck does he put on his skinny jeans?
Regular jeans are skinny jeans.
he just gets ones with more stretch
in response to OP, is this a new occurence, or something that’s been a problem since you started using your current setup?
is the sole of your shoe worn out? are your clips big enough?
Almost as bad as ‘his & hers’ matching dreadlocks on white people…
That would be my question. Properly sized clips make a big difference.
it’s a large clip, but it feels small though. maybe that’s the problem!
i have a front brake, but i like to skid every now and then.
Lean foward a bit more and put more pressure on your back foot. But it’s hard to see the issue unless I see you doing a skid…
What position are your feet in when doing skids? maybe have your back foot lower, starting the skid earlier?
what shoes do you wear? if they’re chunky, like a nike basketball sneaker or any shoe with a lot of rubber at the toe, then you might need a longer clip.
i wear chuck taylors most of the time and have no trouble skidding in them but if i’m wearing nike AF-1s or adidas shelltoes etc, my foot isn’t far enough into the clip to skid
This thread is hillarious!
when i do a skid i underweight the rear wheel by hopping up a bit and then i use my right foot to pull up the pedal so it parallel with the ground.
Why?, because we aren’t ridiculing him for asking a question about skids?
