Pedal Tabs?
i use mks touring pedals on my commuter b/c i wear a range of different shoes and they are nice and wide like my feet. only problem is, when it's wet out it can be hard to toe-in to the clips because the pedals don't have the little tabs for this purpose. does anyone sell tabs that can be attached via the reflector mounts or anything?
thanks
thanks

I did a little quick searching and didn't find anything for this purpose. It'd be a good idea, and I'd bet that they are out there, somewhere. You may find success using the brake pad squeeze tabs found on some more decent older road bikes (on my Schwinn Traveler). They're all integrated into the pads these days.

Are those WTB Toe Flips compatible with only select pedals? One of the "contestants" mentioned specific pedals that you could attach them to.

I'd think it would be fairly simple to ghetto rig something up.
Maybe two ultra-thick zip ties side by side with the fastener facing out.

yeah, sure i could just have a couple bolts sticking out if i wanted to rig something, but if there's a "proper" solution available, i'd like to try that.

Do you have any problems with pedal strike caused by the width of the Touring pedals? Maybe this is a good excuse to buy some Track Sylvans.

i've never had pedal strike problems and i run 170s. i don't want track sylvans. worse comes to worse and i put a bolt through them. i just thought someone had to have made what i was looking for.

I suppose you could mount Campy toe clip entry tabs on the back of the pedal cages instead of the front?
