Talk to me about Frogs

[moderncyclista]

Frogs live in swampy areas and make "ribbitty-ribbet" sounds they hop all over the place and judge you with their beady eyes.

Wait, what are we talking about here?

Oh yeah, bike parts. Just trying to make you ladies chuckle. (if I succeed with even one of you, it is a triumph. ) Best of luck with the pedal choices, Catrin!

You know, not to hijack Catrin's thread, but I've been thinking about Candies an awful lot since buying my bike. Given I'm also on a weight loss path, that's been QUITE disconcerting.

Tell Jonathan they should work no problem!

Thanks TrekJeni, am thinking about trying them on my Gunnar - either them or the Candys and see what I think if we can't get the spring tension problem with the SPD worked out. I did misspeak when I said that he doesn't know much about the Frogs - I had misunderstood. I've fit issues that he is concerned about which is why he isn't recommending them.

I did purchase the Frogs today to put on my Gunnar next week. For whatever reason, the springs in the double-sided SPD pedals just will not adjust to the same level of light tension as my "campus" pedals. Fitter even called Shimano to find out what might be going on and couldn't find out anything. Got the Frogs at a 40% discount, and they took the SPD pedals back, so it was almost a direct trade. Sweet!

BMX pedals are back on the mountain bike until at least next year sometime...

Let me know how you like them, Catrin. I think I might prefer something other than SPDs myself--cause I like to have some float, too.

I will let you know how they work on the Gunnar. One of the LBS staff really likes them, and he warned me that they will feel like I am on ice for a couple of weeks until my ankle muscles strengthen - that can't be a bad thing! I do hope this works out, and am thankful that they allowed me to trade in the SPD pedals for the Frogs. It makes sense that the ankles have to strengthen since the spring tension isn't holding my feet/legs in one basic position.
