When I first got clips I had them on my XC bike, only time I ever thought I was in any trouble was out at bottle lake in 3-4 inch mud where I had no steering, clips make everything fun :D

W00t to first ride on clips, twice up and down Mt Vic for starters. Came across a walker on Ridgeline, right on the root section after the bomb-hole. Just unclipped, smashed through a rut, clipped back in and carried on. Sick!

Epic day out there.

Nice Commençal - have you checked the chain length at full compression though?
