"Bad timing.
Triathlon season is at full speed.
Maybe in a month or two you will have better luck.
As always try craigslist
I also know the Chicago Tri Club has a classified section in their forums

I've been riding cages/straps for years now on my fixed ride, and have been thinking about trying out some egg beaters. My question is, has anyone had any problems coming unclipped under the…Continue

Although it's short in time, and not too great. Was still a fun summer when I got to get out and skate. …Continue

Billy Poore replied to Dubi Kaufmann's discussion 'a point of view video of dooring.'"I never pass any merging or parked vehicle on the right, ever. I merge left and go around the vehicle that is pulling over, or is pulled over. I'd rather take my chances with moving traffic and have potential for space to avoid than…"
Billy Poore replied to Michelle Gregorek's discussion 'My first flat tire! Cross your fingers.'"I had a presta valve rip out once, but the tube was also over a year old, and the air pump was kind of cheap and jank. DUG is right though, if you pull straight up on it and maybe even twist the chock, or whatever it's called, very gently…"
Billy Poore replied to Megan S.'s discussion 'Meanwhile, in San Francisco... Taxis granted use of bike lanes'"'dudes be gettin' caught slippin'!' ....maybe they should "occupy" the bike lanes. (Meant to be taken lightly, not trying to be bogus!)"
Jeff Schneider replied to Billy Poore's discussion 'Clipless question'"I use brakes, but FWIW I like the campus style SPD pedals for fixed riding, too. I also like being able to get lots of compatible shoes that are OK for walking once I get where I'm going.

william replied to Billy Poore's discussion 'Clipless question'"I dont trust eggbeaters for fixed gear riding. that combo is sketchy. they are also incredibly fragile and often need to be sent back / repaired / replaced by Crank Bros. Pick up a pair of Atac Aliums or a Shimano SPD pedal instead. I like A520s."
Billy Poore replied to Billy Poore's discussion 'Clipless question'"Thanks for your feedback everybody! It greatly helps. I checked out Crank Brothers website to get an idea of cost and saw that their eggbeaters are definitely reasonably priced. Eric, I'll have to swing into your shop in the…"

I know there have to be some techies out there. I have been having some problems getting the net extender at my apartment working. I know they're both on the same channel, same IP range or whatever, but I'm not sure about the MAC addresses between them. If somebody could come over and hook this up for me within this week or the following, that would be awesome! I'd rather help out one of my own, than to jump right to craigslist. Name your alcohol driven poison, or your price, and we'll go…See More
Eric Puetz - Smart Bike Parts replied to Billy Poore's discussion 'Clipless question'"Highly recommend Egg Beaters: by far the most common pedal ridden by the ChiCrossCup.com racers. 4-Sided entry makes getting into them a breeze especially in muddy/slushy conditions. Equally good as a commuting pedal and is the least expensive way…"
"BTW, you can pick up the old model 1 eggbeaters for a song ($30-40).
Remember, though, that they have a bushing and a bearing (whereas the new, more expensive ones have two bearings) and the bushings will need to be replaced…"
S replied to Billy Poore's discussion 'Clipless question'"Don't forget that they are very dirt/mud/snow resistant. The open design stops it from getting caught up in the cleats and it gets shed pretty easily. I've found crank brothers to be pretty good about providing service as well…"
"I echo the good reviews for the eggbeaters/candy pedals. Easy to get out of in an emergency, walkable/minimal cleats, but you can do a full sprint and not worry about accidental exit. IMO the best option for all of commuting/casual…"
Matt Mrozinski replied to Billy Poore's discussion 'Clipless question'"i have the dzr mid tops and wellgo spd double sided and i enjoy them i also run a brake for when i use sneakers i have fallen a couple times because i couldn't get out and lost my balance. just practice and set the release tension right and you…"
