soma toe clips vs mks
 
are the 4 gate soma toe clips any shorter in length than the msk clips? cuz my mks clips scrape like a mother night and day and i was wondering if getting the soma clips would help that at all. thanks

The medium/large Soma 4 gates are a bit shorter, maybe half an inch, maybe more. I have the double gates, and if you have padded shoes (I've got onitsuka fencing) they feel great. If not, well, they hurt the feets a little.

1. - What size are you using?
2. - Quit pointing your toes down.

If they are scraping while pushing the bike(to all the "i don't push my bike" people-sometimes pushing the bike is a good thing,as in drinking a coffee while riding brakeless=not much stopping)that's normal.If they're scraping while riding something's wrong.

soma clips are too brittle and break at the worst of times.

soma clips are bad roots.

no one im in my experience has ever liked the soma clips. ever.

I like the Soma double gates, they make it really easy to get my foot in and out but are still really tight. I might switch back to the MKS I have when I get around to buying doubles...
