dave it is not selling out, but until you have tried something, you can’t really say they suck. Hey i used to say euro was no good and threadless was no good, but after using em , they are not bad at all.
What are you lookin to gain by using clips JUST PEDAL FASTER !!! so many other things that a rider can do to improve their riding . Just realize at some point you will slip a pedal and/or crash….. BMX!!!!
