I used power grips for years...I can see why lots of folks like them on fixies. I went to clipless on my non-fixed bikes for one reason - climbing, which I got to do a lot of around here. I see a noticable difference in my ease of climbing with clipless vs power grips. As a 235lb guy who likes to carry everything but the kitchen sink on my bike, I need all the help I can get on them hills.
