on a similar note SP has a new pedal in the works but who knows when it'll be out: http://www.cyclingnews.com/photos/2008/tech/shows/interbike08/index.php?id=/photos/2008/tech/shows/interbike08/interbike086/IMG_0433

i'll pick up some frogs in the meantime,

Thanks so much for your feedback. You have me convinced that the Frogs are good option for me especially since we see little to no mud in our racing here (NorCal).

Cheers,

Andrew from CXM mentioned to me that you use the Speedplay Frog pedals and I was wondering how you liked them. I need a pedal with float and for now these seem to be the bes option, I've read various reviews but none where from cross racers so I was wondering what your take was.

Thanks,

Basil

At 5:22am on October 29, 2008, ejpres said…: Yup, best of luck for you, too!

At 4:19pm on October 25, 2008, ejpres said…: ps: okay, I saw you have a list of your upcoming races on your blog. Seems we're covering the german races in turns... I also have Zeddam on my agenda, but that most likely is not going to happen. Hmmm, I'm pretty sure I'll be in Hoogerheide for the WCS ...as a spectator... Cheering for you... then... finally...

At 12:56pm on October 25, 2008, ejpres said…: Buh, too bad, I'll be in the Netherlands next weekend (not that I don't like it there also, not at all).
I would have loved to go to Magstadt though, I have many friends down there (They really love when they have to go to rainy, cold cross races to see me... haha)
As for Deutschlandcup races: I'll most definitly be in Herford on december 31st. I'll try to be in Vechta, Hamburg plus the Schmelz/Homburg weekend (though otherwise I might want to make that weekend a Belgium weekend at the Vlaamse Cyclocross Cup - never been there, like to check it out.)

Stole a photo too, hope you don't mind. I thought it was so enlightening, I had to bring it to the forefront.

Here's the link:
