i hate powergrips. i've had very bad times with them. also, don't have the shoe clearance i desire.

How would you ride powergrips without strapping in? I've tried riding on the other side of the pedals but then the straps scrape the floor. Step on the straps?

Do you mean width? I have damn wide feet at a EE width and have had no problems with them at all. They also make extra long straps if needed.

I've got MKS GR-9's and Xtra Large Clips w/ straps. I only wear casual shoes when riding. The GR-9's don't eat your soles like other pedals. They are comfortable and inexpensive. I have used many different kinds of pedals and these are my ultimate preference.

yeah, plus i kept stripping/busting bolts and ripping the straps out when i tried to put any pressure on the upstroke.

i'd like to know what sort of shoe sizes people have when they're recomending stuff.

Sounds like you didn't set them up properly. I've used them on all manor of bikes for 15 years with no issues at all.

Jeez, how many strength points do you have, 19? With +4 shants of hulk strength?

i don't know, i couldn't figure it out either. i also had the ones w/o the little holes for the screws to go through, just the lame little clampy things

I have those on 2 FG bikes and a host of others and have had no problems. Did you follow the directions to the letter?

GR-9s, XL MKS clips, size 11 Sambas

you then are implying that he is a NPC.

I use Power Grips and have 11EE (US) or 45 (Euro).

What the crap?

You'd have to sell him the shants +4 before he'd have them equip'd.

MKS Sylvan Stream. Just ordered power grips, not here yet though.
