Thanks for everybody's imput on the toe clip issue. I tried to order a pair of MKS from SomaShop, but they are back ordered for 2 weeks. Instead, ordered 4 pr. of steel clips from Nashbar. At $7/pr. I couldn't resist buying a few backups. I will let every body know how they hold up (hopefully in about one year.) They also have some plastic clips (actually cheaper), but that shiney metal just makes me drool... perhaps I am a descendant of a crow. Thanks again.
