Keeps on digging
Not much different I suspect - it was so fast i was still on the bike when I hit the ground... That’s pedal strikes for you, it’s over before you know what happened!Imagine if your were strapped on for that crash!!!

I prefer to imagine the bike stuck to your feet and mayhem.Not much different I suspect - it was so fast i was still on the bike when I hit the ground... That’s pedal strikes for you, it’s over before you know what happened!
That’s fair.I prefer to imagine the bike stuck to your feet and mayhem.
I ended up getting a pair of these.I'll go by the general vibe of the thread that nobody here wants to read about my Northwave Ghost XCM experiences (which have been positive)
Are you sure that your foot hasn't molded to the shape of the shoe?I ended up getting a pair of these.
Yes, they are stiff and light. Took a while but have molded to the shape of my foot nicely. Next shoe will be the updated model....if I can get them
Are you saying I could have feet like @moorey ......not possible!!Are you sure that your foot hasn't molded to the shape of the shoe?
Sure it's not a sizing thing? The fact that mtbd even charge different prices for different colours or sizes of the same product is criminal.What the fuck? I put these in the cart this arvo, got busy with work, nek minnit! Yes, they are now $219.95 at checkout. Sending off an email right now.

Nah because the size I had was the same at checkout and the price had jumped. Actually went back to the product page see how much "on special" they were because the Mrs asked if they were on special. Hopefully they're reasonable about it otherwise I'll just go to Bike Bug and wait a bit longer.Sure it's not a sizing thing?

The MTB Direct peeps got back to me, they had made some price adjustments across a bunch of products and I was unlucky with this one, so they gave me $40 store credit to bring it back to the original discount. I added a bottle of mineral oil which I'd almost forgotten, checked out and my shoes and stuff are on the way. Great customer service.What the fuck?

Oh I have a lot of bad words to say about those guys...I recently saw some shoes on their site that were on sale, half price even! Open shoes up and the sale price, the only price they displayed prior to selecting the colour and size relevant to me, was for a pair of very unattractive coloured shoes that were out of stock. Fuck those guys and their bullshit. I know a lot of people on here like to suck them off because go Australia but fuck them. They run a lot of very dubious promotions.Sure it's not a sizing thing?

Yah they were ace when they started and were trying to get a leg up on the market, but you'd get more action from a nun nowadays.Oh I have a lot of bad words to say about those guys...I recently saw some shoes on their site that were on sale, half price even!

And I miss the Mentos days.
Yeah I get that part about running out the shit colours and sizes, but their click bait bullshit with the "from... " prices pisses everyone off especially when they include it in their weekly newsletters.The MTB Direct peeps got back to me, they had made some price adjustments across a bunch of products and I was unlucky with this one, so they gave me $40 store credit to bring it back to the original discount.

On the different prices for different styles/sizes, it seems a lot of places do it. I guess when they buy a bunch of stock and nobody likes a particular style/size they clear it out at lower prices.
Agreed it annoys me so much I don't click on their site unless I am desperate.Yeah I get that part about running out the shit colours and sizes, but their click bait bullshit with the "from... " prices pisses everyone off especially when they include it in their weekly newsletters.
Lucky. I had this happen with a helmet but they wouldn’t budge on changing price. Said the wholesaler changed the price and they had to increase the price all in the space of a few hours. I rarely buy from them these days.The MTB Direct peeps got back to me, they had made some price adjustments across a bunch of products and I was unlucky with this one, so they gave me $40 store credit to bring it back to the original discount.
