you'll eventually replace enough of those craptastic QBP straps
to match the cost of toshi double straps.
if you plan on riding your bike for years to come, think of it as a one-time investment.
and think of dimension straps as a reoccurring expense.
save up
or sell something you own.
toshis are worth it.
geordi, i totally agree with you about spending more up front rather than on the back end. that been said, 1 soul for sale...any takers?

Ride around on single straps for a while, and if/when you find that they are severely lacking, then go out and buy some doubles. Upgrade-itis is a serious thing folks.
no brakes.

once you go double, you dont go back.
but, in all honesty, if you're going to spend 100 on toshis, 25 on gr9s, and 15 on clips
you might as well pick up some 45 dollar atacs and a pair of 90 dollar shoes
and get a real bang for your buck.

geordi, your probably right. REM i appreciate your cynical nature but there is no "look" im going for, just not interested in carrying around two pairs of shoes. i ride my FG to go places. going to stick with the cages.

What a mistake that was!!! I love clipless!
does that mean you are selling your clips and straps then?
