Die wichtigste Charakteristik eines Padels für den Fixed Gear Einsatz ist eine gute Bodenfreiheit. Zudem sollte man Pedale wählen, in die man schnell ein- und aussteigen kann, weil beide Vorgänge bei sich bewegenden Pedalen durchaus etwas komplizierter sind. | |||
Im Allgemeinen empfahl Sheldon Brown das System einzusetzen, das man bereits gewöhnt ist. Es ist auch so schon eine Herausforderung, Fixed Gear Fahren zu beherrschen, als dass man sich gleichzeitig an ein neues Pedalsystem gewöhnen wollte. | |||
When I used to use toe-clips and straps, I fit two toe straps to each pedal, partly because they help keep my feet in better alignment (since I don't use cleats) and partly for safety. Toe straps can get highly stressed on a fixed-gear bicycle, and if they break, unpleasant consequences may ensue. | When I used to use toe-clips and straps, I fit two toe straps to each pedal, partly because they help keep my feet in better alignment (since I don't use cleats) and partly for safety.

Because there is no coasting, getting a foot into a toe clip when starting is more difficult than on a freewheeling bicycle, and tightening or loosening a toe strap is devilishly difficult. This doesn't matter to a track racer, who is held up by a coach or other helper -- the "starter" -- at the start of a race. It does matter when using a fixed-gear bicycle on the road. For this reason, clip-in pedals and cleated shoes are preferable. Be comfortable with your chosen shoe and pedal system on a freewheeling bicycle before taking up fixed-gear riding. | Because there is no coasting, getting a foot into a toe clip when starting is more difficult than on a freewheeling bicycle, and tightening or loosening a toe strap is devilishly difficult.

Mehr | Manche Neuling wird versuchen, ohne jegliches Rückhaltesystem mit einfachen Pedalen zu fahren. Sheldon Brown riet stark davon ab. Auf einfachen Pedalen Fixed Gear zu fahren ist eine fortschrittliche Fähigkeit und ist nur für sehr erfahrene Fixed Gear Fahrer empfehlenswert. | ||
