Ok, I ordered the "Power Grips High Performance Pedal Kit". I was gonna need new cage pedals and it only worked out to about $13 more to get the pedal/strap combo. Real Power Grips aren't known for their durability, so I'll have an opportunity to make my own when they wear out and by then I'll have the experience to say how "DIY Grips" stack up to the real deal.

I tried that...makes it almost impossible to unclip.

$300? I have three sets of clipless pedals which cost about $110 total.
And the shoes? Those I'm keeping to use with my Power Grips; Stiff soles is one thing I'm not willing to compromise on.

Experts agree that these studies aren't relevant to your riding. And telling you that I'm the "expert" I'm referring to doesn't change the validity of my statement one bit.
It's been rehashed 100 times. The bottom line is the only thing that's relevant to my riding is that I don't find pulling helps and I'm not gonna do it. So there.
