chillindrdude Added a comment about press release The Pro's Closet Launches Certified Pre-Owned Bikes

I bought my latest trail ripper from TPC, a 2018 Orbea Rallon. I must say I was prepared to expect a few things "off", but upon inspection after unboxing, I was pleasantly surprised. My bike had new tires, and even new grease packed in the headset. I would not hesitate to recommend The Pro's Closet to any budget minded mountain biker in search of their next ride.

I think current flat pedals with proper concavity and pins, coupled with "stealth" rubber or similar high friction soles have closed the gap considerably. The above test didnt prove anything in my opinion. The clipless vs flats debate is just too rider subjective. I prefer clipless because i like that connected feeling to the bike, especially in the rough, i dont worry as much about my feet coming off the pedals. I also read somewhere that flats rider body position is alittle more rearward biased, and i like riding more neutral or slightly forward of neutral.

How about using proper flat pedals and shoes for an actual comparison...?

OEM option?!?! What brand dh bike is gonna offer complete with the Emerald? I'd buy it, keep the fork, and part everything else out.
