Your oval ring comments have almost been ignored in the responses! I remember my biopace ovals (hahaha - I know different orientation). Are there any good chain guides for them?
I have always and will always ride flats on an mtb. I started clipping in when doing spin classes and and then took tham on to the road with my commuter bike. I used some oldish Shimano shoes and XT cageless pedals but I wasn't able to put my foot where I wanted to to feel stable, yes perfect for applying power and sustaining a cadence, but I never felt confidently balanced and minimal room for movement (currently on DMR v12 mags's and Superstar mag's with five tens).
I foolishly had toe clips back in the early-mid 90's (teenager) as a get about bike but as I started "mountain biking" it was bear traps then DMR's to lean to jump and downhill - so err bit of "old dog new tricks" scenario for me now! Oh and to much work makes Dave a dull boy who has minimal time to ride and learn new things :-(
