If a bike has a SRAM BB, may I fit Shitmano pedals on it? Or is that like mixing riser bars and bar-ends?

And why do a lot of bikes these days come out WITHOUT pedals?

People only look at waht is on your bike when its standing still!

Ride hard enough that they cant see through the blood in their eyes.

If you can pass me or keep up - I will respecignize no matter what component mix you are running!

If I pass you - I wont waste a thought on weather you did or did not mix brands.

I mix and match all the time (I like Shimano cranks and brakes, but for RD and shifters it's SRAM all the way). Don't give a rats ass what other people think. It's their problem not mine.

You can do what you like with SRAM, but if you mix with Campy you go straight to hell. Fact.
I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

I do not understand the question !

1. You MAY do as you please.

2. You do not fit pedals to a BB.

3. Which SRAM (clipless) pedals do you propose to fit to your SRAM BB, if you could?

4. They come out WITHOUT pedals so that they can not be easily jacked off the showroom floor.

Next question.
NO NUBBINS ®
cockled or otherwise!

Ag hel, ok boet:
1. I am married. So no, I may not.
2. Sorry. Crank dan. Wat is die Ingels vir crank nou weer?
3. Ek weet SRAM maak ne pedale nie. That is why I asked.
4. Even when you order online?

Probly why they come with a cassette frisbee and reflectors too, so real cyclists can spot a thief and stop them if they bring their own pedals

I have a pair of nice bar ends on the Rellie MTB, and a even nicer new riser bar I want to fit as the straight & flat one on the MTB is really killing my back.

The MTB makes me ride in an even more earo position than my road bike :whistling:
And the SS has a colour-coded bell on ;)

Cycling is FUN, irrespective of teh rulez of teh fashionistas :D

You need to ditch the bell and get a Samui Zound air horn.
This morning in the dark I had my 1800 lumen light on Bright as a Samal was discharging the security cards for shift change. Despite the light they were all over the road until I hit the horn. One guy got such a fright he actually fell over.
