Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I'm about to purchase some new pedals/clips/straps, and decided, what the hell, splurge for some toshi's (single's at least). Can anyone recommend where to find singles/doubles the cheapest?
Thanks.

try craigslist...ive seen used ones go for round 50-60... they're going to cost you about the same price everywhere. benscycles.com has them for 95 bucks...that's pretty low...i think i saw them for 110 at a LBS not too long ago

tucking those ends in is a really bad idea...

Man, you're barking up the wrong tree. I usually just get flamed when I tell people about the intended proper use of clips and straps.

You're supposed to be able to adjust them while riding, I say.

You shouldn't be able to pull your foot out easily unless you loosen them, I shout!

Shut up, that's just your opinion, they reply.

Oh well. Too bad, so sad.

haha, i saw you post that before, but i couldnt throw out a huge number like that because ive never seen toshis that old. the construction is different, but its conceivable that toshis will last like that. when our straps turn forty and if neither of them are already busted, well get back together and swap pictures.

Buy quality and it will last. Binda's were the best back when I bought them; Toshis are now.
