Remember kids - it's righty-tighty lefty-loosey. Except with pedals...
and drive side bottom bracket cups, except with french and italian ones.

No doubt that's because straps break.

I just use two single straps on my bike. Strangely enough I have clipless on my track bike and use double-straps on my road bike. I prefer to have the adjustable tightness for comfort on most of the ride and then cinch it down tightly for the final sprint.

Sure! Give that a try before you buy more pedals.I get it now and good straps can be found cheap. I have a box of them - and I didn't try to accumulate them. They just fell in the box! LOL.
As for you funny people: Social-sadism is a sign of mental-illness. I'm a psychotherapist. Get it checked.
