I'm waiting for the bike shop to call and say my bike is ready (GT 2.0 avalanche disc, looked like the best bang for the buck componentry wise). Here's my question, should I totally leave off toe cages on the pedals? The reason I'm asking is in college (1990 or so) I had a Schwinn Sierra MOS and it came with toe cages. I loved them and didn't have problems with them, and thought about putting some on this bike. I read that they're not desirable on a lot of other posts but can't find any particular reasons mentioned. Please give me some reasons/horror stories etc. I will be doing some mild to intermediate offroad riding but nothing hardcore if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance for the input, Greg
