I got my power grips, only to discover that my cage is too small.
Returning the Powergrips and getting the kit is not really a good option for me.
Can anybody recommend a nice roomy pedal/cage that works well with power grips?

I have size 12 feet, and wear trail sneakers just to make it worse :)

Nothing beats a 20 mile ride so you can go on your favorite hike.

I used Power Grips on my winter bike for some years. I've got size 13 feet and the "standard kit" was just big enough at their largest setting. As I recall, I used them on some cheep old fashioned pedals. They do make an extra-large size strap too. It is available at their website, and there might be some other ideas for you there too.

For years I used Power Grips with various cage pedals, shimaNO XT cage pedals, Dirt Research SL pedals, and WTB pedals I wore hiking boots size 13 with no problems.

www.bikenashbar.com under platform pedals, the big masher works well, or the Land Cruiser.

Thanks!
Ordering now.

I had to take my old clips off, and I can't say I like not having my feet secured to the pedals.
