Pedal toe strap combos?
Is it possible to by pedal & toe strap combos? Reason I ask is because right now I just have the plain old pedals that came with my comfort bike. Now these are fine for the recreational ride. But now that I am starting the commuting thing, I find that my feet are moving all over the place on the pedals. Sometimes even slipping off.
I have some toes straps from my old bike, but the reflectors on my current pedals do not come off so I can install my old straps. So I want to purchase new pedals with the toes straps included. Is this possible? |
Toe clips are comparitively inexpensive.
I'd just buy new pedals. vOv |
You could buy a set of these:

Oh, and for the record, I really like SPD clipless pedals used in combination with shoes that have a recessed cleat area. I rode with toe clips for years after everybody I knew had switched to clipless pedals. I RELUCTANTLY gave clipless a try after I bought my OCR 2 which came with clipless pedals stock. (In fact, I almost had the LFS swap out the pedals before I took the bike home.) Now I'm hooked. I'm interested in giving the power grips a try but I don't think I'll ever go back to traditional toe clips.

Powergrips - much, much safer than toe clips and straps if you're not ready to pay for clipless pedals asnd shoes yet.

PowerGrips are the greatest invention since sliced bread and peanut butter.:thumb:
They might be compatible with your old pedals, or you can buy the PowerGrip pedals and straps as a package, or the pedals I currently like are Dimension PD1086. http://www.dimensionbikeproducts.com....priceless.pdf page 20 But these straps are compatible with a lot of other pedals. |
