um, it seems like the shifter boss is too short; they will not tighten to the point of friction.
I put speedplays on it. They are the only pedals that my knees will tolerate. This pair is one of the very first ones, from about the right vintage. I've had 'em for years, got them from a friend who won them in a race and couldn't stand them. They were my first pair.
All of my bikes are riders. The ones that turn into garage queens get sold. Although it has been so hot and dusty lately that the mountain bikes aren't getting any use.
