Question about clipping out
Where in your pedal motion do you clip out? at the top or the bottom of the stroke? it seems a lot easier to clip out at the bottom of the stroke.

Re: Question about clipping out
That's a silly question
 !I always unclip at the bottom!! of course it's easier !! your leg is straight at the time...

Re: Question about clipping out
I clip out at the top. That leaves the other leg ready to take all your weight as you slide forward off the saddle to put the unclipped foot down.

Re: Question about clipping out
Yeah I do as well. The unclipping foot can then do its stuff between my drink bottles. I clip inwards with my right foot now as I used to unclip outwards with my left foot but I got the makings of a repetition injury from doing it so often so I changed feet and have had no more problems.

In the middle, both feet at once.

Re: Question about clipping out
topper as well. How are you guys bracing your weight with the foot unclipped at the bottom of the stroke? Are you seated, unclip, then rotate the cranks 180 degrees, stand up, and put your foot down?
I usually stand up before coming to a stop, unclip at the top of the stroke, and step down to the ground as I stop. |

Re: Question about clipping out
How many of you had to go for a short ride before you could answer this question? Releasing from the pedals becomes so automatic that you really don't remember how you do it until you pay particular attention to how you do it

Re: Question about clipping out
Where ever I need to as dictated by the situation in hand. Sometimes, if need be, I'll even do something crazo like unclip with the foot that normally stays clipped in. I don't keep a log of where my foot is in the pedal stroke when I unclip each time.

Re: Question about clipping out
If you unclip at the top of your stroke you can twist your foot the other way without jamming your heel into the rear wheel.

It's never occurred to me to clip out by turning my heel in! It seems quite weird even to think of doing it that way. But whatever works, goes...

If your heel goes in at the bottom of your stroke, it'll go into the rear wheel. I usually turn my toes out a the top of my stroke because I get crisper disengagement and it's easier on my knees when they're bent. There are no rules. |
