good bump kkim..........

I read these start to finish,,,,,There's much to think about. I've had mine about 16 months and rode 6k+ miles and so far I've been blessed. Never down.

This is not to say I've had no "incidents"......About 5 months into ownership my son and wife (On the bike with me) were riding in the mountains. We had just pulled into a rest area to take a break. Just as we roll to a stop,,my left bootlace is caught with the shifter.

Not tied their where it couldn't be untied, but more of a "You can't put your left foot down" by the time I realized I had no left foot to use..... I was already committed to leaning that direction

But just as I put out my hand to brace for impact,, My son rolls to a stop on my left and I grab his tank with a gorilla grip. Keeping us from falling over. He was mad because I kinda smacked his tank pretty hard with my gloves. But no damage to him or me. Again someone was smiling on my fate.

Now I ride in my A* boots only.
