My '02 Giant OCR3 has these plastic and nylon strap toe cups on the pedals...I know that nowadays they have the clip-ins and associated footwear but my whole bike prolly ain't worth a pair of those shoes and the receiver pedals besides...they'd present the same thing I'm looking to relieve myself of....that being?..."FEAR"...that I'm going to come to a stop (whether it be casual or emergency) and dork out, get a foot hung up and?...go down.

They took some getting used to (getting in and out of them) 12 years ago when I first bought the bike and I'm finding they're taking some getting used to all over again..I understand they are to aid and add upstroke power and keep the foot seated in position but I've been thinking about removing them...they're just the cheap plastic toe w/ adjustable nylon strap type...



what say you all?

T.I.A. Bill.
