To contribute intelligently one needs intelligent conversations. Something woefully lacking amongst the art school castoffs. FWIW it seems to me there are plenty of threads here asking valid questions with people trying to learn about everything from frames, fit, wheels, hubs, BB, chasing threads, rust protection, riding in traffic, brake installation, fenders, tire size, saddles, etc. What do you consider intelligent bike conversation? |

To contribute intelligently one needs intelligent conversations. Something woefully lacking amongst the art school castoffs. This is my first post and I really don't care if I get banned. You are a ***** Pink.Terror. You are the problem with this world, I wish all people like you would jump off a bridge like all the other lemmings in the world. Money does not = happiness nor does it make you better than anyone else...you don't know jack about life and if you did you would not have that attitude. Ban away...thanks! |
SO YEAH, MKS GR-9's! HUH?

If you feel that you need to run a zip tie you just need one through the middle... you can run two, one on each side, but one in the middle is all you need. All of the toe clamps I've seen have 3 holes where the clamp connects to the pedal... the two on the sides are for the screws to go through and the one in the middle is to stick a zip tie through so you can run double straps on gr-9's :)

I don't see the point. If you want to run doubles, get the proper pedals. Why cobble something together when the proper pedal is a couple bucks more? |
I think using zip ties is unnecessary when you could walk into any harddware store and purchase two pairs of bolts for 2 dollars. with that aside, what's so wrong with using longer bolts?
gr9s are comfortable pedals and I prefer them to others like sylvans. I also prefer double straps. Adding 4 longer steel bolts makes them work together and adding that 1/2" extra of bolt threading is not "cobbling" something together. |
get the pake singles, the urethane ones, theyre better than the double straps ive used

You don't need zips if you run long bolts. |

Mark me down as another person who likes their Gr-9s with double straps.
I have used with them longer bolts, with generic one loop toe clips, two single straps and a home made double and they were good although the front strap tended to slid down my foot a lot. However, in that position the front strap actually held my foot better. Now I run them with the longer bolts and the soma quad gate clips with dimension double straps and they work really well for me. For reference I have ridden spds for years and road powergrips for about 4 months. The gr9s with double straps are probably on par with my experience with powergrips. Both are obviously less efficient that clipless but I got tired of having to wear my clipless shoes. |
