I was using Eggbeaters and Sidi Dom5 and moved to clips/doubles due to a short term clipless pedal shortage in my bike stable. It's horrible - the bike feels flat and I almost killed myself in traffic.

Probably because clipless is better

Is there anything in between crappy dimensions and $100 Toshi/MKS?

can anyone speak to this?
i went from metal to plastic. they're durable... i think (based on the packaging)they're actually made for mountain bikes... they've lasted longer than my mks STEEL cages that i ended up snapping while hopping upa curb with my foot on the non-caged side of one of the pedals... i dig plastic. if the ones i have now break,i'd for sure go back to another plastic pair |

The Exustar Double Sprinter Straps are almost as good as Toshis or the MKS doubles and cost like, what, less than half the price of those. They're the same type of thick double laminated suede with good quality buckles too.

http://i22.ebayimg.com/07/i/001/29/1f/0ca1_1.JPG are you sure they're not just another incarnation of QBP straps? |

^^^
where can i get some of these?!?!! |
They look just like the soma/dimension straps..? anyone see anything different about them?
|
nevermind.. i see a difference. the two straps meet at a "U", instead of a half square. So they're definitely not exactly the same batch.
|
I have those as I said already, they're thick double layered suede, very different from soma etc.
|
i might saw those a week or so ago. good pickup
|
12 bucks aint bad. good find.
|
I found these, anyone know anything?

yeah they have a small amount of rust on the buckles but not anything to fuss about especially for a $65 set of straps for $11.50... they were great today, i like how they feel compared to my Toshi singles. I might have to pick up a set of Toshi doubles
and for anyone wanting doubles these are great and they're about $25 less than Toshis. i've found them for $65 (well and $11.50 lol) online so just a heads up |

I'd recommend getting singles and spending the rest of the money on a better set of pedals and cages. I made some doubles and just used a set of nylon straps along with a nice leather set as well.
