Pinkbike Poll: What Features Would You Like To See In a Flat Pedal MTB Shoe?

The shoes don't have to be waterproof per say but I would say that easily 80-90% of rides I do in a year results in one or both of my feet being splashed by the front wheel... Typically your lead foot. Shoes just need to have a waterproof/splash resistant top and inside, and hey presto, you've fixed most of the problem. It's really not that f#@king hard. Shimano AM45 almost had it, no vents on the top. But not so grippy sole and has now been discontinued. You can have all the vents down the outside for these people that have sweaty feet. (Never personally had the problem)

Check Out: Bolt-On Fenders, Micro Jackets, Frame Protection, and a Zero-Plastic Bike Wash

@extremetothemax: 100% recommended. Mine is still going strong after 10 years of heavy use (worn or carried on nearly every ride, 1-2 times a week), and washed every time it was a muddy ride.... which is a lot in the UK

Reserve's New Fillmore Valve Aims to Make Tubeless Easier

@g-42: you used the OneUp pump that is presta only to inflate at 26" Schrader valve? I'm in 100% agreement about Schrader being the better valve design. I distinctly remember at least one occasion where someone was spouting off that presta valves were better for high pressure applications while being stood beside an air shock that uses a Schrader valve and is rated to well over 200psi. Presta are skinnier which was helpful in not reducing rim strength in road bikes on silly narrow rims. That benefit is loooong gone in the both the mtb and road world.
