I am just getting back into riding on a regular basis. I bought a 2003 Fisher Tassajara, and I'm
really pleased with it. My only complaints are the pedals and the brakes. The Promax brakes seem to
have a bit too much flex, but v-brakes sure are nice. My previous ride was a '91 Jamis Dakota. It
had full Deore DX with cantilever brakes. The Fisher rides like a dream compared to what I was used
to. About the pedals, my feet slip off the pedals fairly often. This is a major pain in the rear(or
sometimes shin). I have looked online at pedal choices, and most everything seems to be either
platform or clipless. I was contemplating going clipless until yesterday. I had sort of a rough day,
had to come off the bike a couple times. If I was clipped to that thing I would most likely have
been in a world of ****. How do you guys feel about cage pedals? It has been real muddy here, and it
seems like caged pedals would provide more grip. The little pins on the platforms seem pointless.
What do you guys think? -ser
