for those of y'all looking for good, cheap straps, velo orange has mks singles for $38.
While on the subject, the roller popped out of my brand new (well ok, like 3 rides old) Cinelli laminated straps while I was tightening. pisssah! They look so damn hot, but avoid.

Noob clip question. I have always ridden clipless on MTB and road and am currently using eggbeaters which I like. However I like using clips and straps on my fixed bike for the normal shoe factor. I currently have a single strap on a MKS pedal. Can I go with a double strap even though the cage on has space for the one strap?
Also are the Soma straps any good?

I have the Sylvan track and am about to buy some double toshis. I can use them with this pedal correct?
