i dig plastic. if the ones i have now break,i'd for sure go back to another plastic pair Plastic for the win. :thumb: Also the pake space straps are GREAT, and dirt cheap. |
^^^
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.

they're doubleizers. usually hand-made but Cadence and SAG make a nice set.
|
Yeah, I made them out of some nice leather I found at an arts and craft store. You don't need much, a 12x12 inch sheet was enough if I remember right.
All you need is a leather punch and some rivets |
the search option isn't really working as well as it use to . . . so i'm gonna post my question here. what size clips are you guys using/what size shoe do you wear?
|
really depends on how much of your foot you want in the pedals.
just for reference, a 'L' usually fits sz. 9.5-11 |

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t...os/Bike020.jpg how have u retained the 2nd strap? do u have a pic of the under side? (im really after gr-9 pedals, but i want to use them with double straps like this pic.) |
You can run double straps on gr9's by replacing the hardware with longer bolts.
