How much can you save on a 10-minute cross-country lap in clipless pedals compared to flat pedals? You've probably heard that clipless pedals add 100-500 to your speed?! They are especially good because you can pull up, which allows you to pedal twice as efficiently?! But is that really true? We decided to check how much more efficient clipless pedals really are compared to flat pedals on a regular cross-country lap, and where flat pedals will lose, and by how much? Perhaps classic pedals are not as slow as they seem at first glance, and circular pedaling does not have such a huge effect as we think? In our video, we not only compare clipless pedals with flat pedals (classic), but also draw a conclusion about who clipless pedals are suitable for, and which ones exactly, road clipless pedals or MTB? And who should buy flat pedals? Pedals with a platform turned out to be not as slow as many expected. In any case, we are not the final authority, our test has too many factors and few indicators, but we have made our own conclusion subjectively. Toptalki are pedals with a platform, classic pedals. Contact pedals are called such because they create a strong contact of special shoes with special pedals.
