Because of the neuropathy in my lower left leg have been moving toward using clipless pedals to provide solid foot placement although I am keeping some clips and straps on a few vintage bikes, if only for aesthetics and display purposes.

The define smooth and are superior to MKS pedals and the equal of the classic Record pedals on which they were modeled.
