Hmmm. Ideally, you would find a way to mount the pedals somewhere else on the bike so you could have decent pedals and be able to “drink and ride.” 🙂

This actually works better with the mountain SPD pedals, but all I had laying around were some old Shimano roadies from my first “real” road bike.

Now I’m thirsty… That is the best damn use of a shotty ass 515 pedal I’ve ever seen! I think I’ll mount one above the trash can here at the shop. Racer 5 anybody?

Whatever it takes to open a Yuengling’s is fine with me.

Maybe you should come up with something to do with broken crank brothers pedals.

spd’s don’t suck.

Well, since the only broken Crank Bros eggbeater pedal I have is somewhere in the woods, I don’t have any laying around (I’m sure I could find something to do with the spindle, though)…they’re still my favorite though, but the new Speedplay mountain pedal looks interesting.
