At first I used just the bare platform just to get used to riding fixed, but now that I'm comfortable with it I would really like to have some form of foot retention in place. I have tried some basic Origin8 straps to little affect. When I have to straps open wide enough to slide my shoe into them the straps themselves will not hold any sort of shape and make it impossible to insert the second foot once pedaling. I would really appreciate some sort of suggestion as to a brand or style of strap that would perform better in this regard. Thank you.
