Just came back from a 26km offroad ride to test out my new pedals! They're good, had fun.
I live in Rome but I'm lucky enough to be 5 minutes away from a big park that, while not particularly aimed at MTB stuff, it has some pretty fun xc trails - there are a couple of interesting drops and climbs, mixed in with plenty of fun single/doubletrack
The good
>it rained yesterday, so there was a bit of mud and people didn't invade the park like a horde of angry drunk russians as they usually do
>I didn't crash, but built up enough confidence to go near my limits a couple of times and recovered a nasty slide
>pedals are really sticky! Even with wet feet they didn't let go
The weird
>these tyres, while not meant for mud, clear shallow mud really well... by launching it directly at your face. Like, mechs are quite damn clean, but it launched mud all over the frame and myself. Kek
The bad
>no hot running qt's
>gotta clean the bike but it's going to rain so it'll have to wait
>some guys were practicing tree climbing or some shit like that, and decided to plant some improvised fencing around their practice area with 1cm thin metal spikes. If I see them again I'm going to give them a piece of my mind about how fucking dangerous that shit is. If someone slid and fell on those, he'd fucking die.
Pedals are Wellgo DMR V12's copy. They're heavy, but definitely a good set of flats.
