ok so i got the straps through. i soaked them in water for a while and they went on...ok...allright not really. the holes on those mks pedals are just too god damn small. i was using black cinelli straps. one of them actually is coming apart in the middle like a banana and the other ones sides are freying. I think I'm just going to ride them to hell and get some new pedals. I did really like my mtb pedals with the plastic cage, they were just a bit too sharp on the pedal. I also didnt need to twist for obvious reasons. There not going anywhere Thanks everyone for your help!
