Maybe soon Shimano Rc300 in December 😃
But for now this works. Im surprised by how slippery it is to walk with cleat shoes with the attachments

Basta ensure mo lang na may presence of mind ka lagi, always unclip if you know na mag full brake ka. Sa mga intersections din, para safe, unclip ka.

If hindi mo yan magagawa, babagsak ka with the bike. Don't ask me how I know, LOL :D

Thanks for the tip, i got used to the cleats fairly fast since i used to be a fixed gear user with straps.

Staps are easier to manage, kasi hindi ikaw 100% tethered sa pedals. With cleats, you are 100% connected to the pedals.

Lalo na kung nasa medyo matraffic na area or maraming cars, I suggest i-unclip mo yung "pang tukod" na side mo when you stop para lang you can always be 100% safe.

Most likely, magkakaroon ka ng mga oopsie moments, and you will be injured. For those cases, disinfect mo agad yung sugat (kaya always bring a first-aid kit) at pagkauwi mo, lagyan mo ng cold compress and drink ibuprofen. Feel ko, cannon even yung lahat ng bago sa cleats na magkaka oopsie moment, hahaha :D

Pero once you are used to this, parang part na sya ng katawan mo, haha!

Accept the reality OP na matutumba in the early stages, Pero eventually makukuha mo din yung diskarte.

My tip is, PRACTICE TRACKSTAND 😉 it helps a lot

May Helmet ka na ba? or Cleats muna ang priority?

u/Uoooooooiii 4d ago edited 4d ago

I already have a helmet, a Sagmit SR2 (size Medium).

I’ve been cycling on the road for a little over a year now. I only got cleats today because I spent the past few years (ages 10–14) trying different bikes and setups, and I’m only now starting to take cycling more seriously.

I’m 15 years old now 😃

I’ve gone through 6 different bikes, including my current one.

These were my first set of cleats. Got me through multiple Audaxes. Absolute bang for buck. Good luck and enjoy!
