Not all versions of Power Grips are like this. The rugged fixie version I posted a pic of in the OP screws directly into the pedal.

Then why do the pedal kits sold by Power Grips include pedals with sharp serrated teeth? See, this is what gets me...MRP seems to jump through all sorts of hoops to arrive at inferior solutions.
