Haven't tried the new ones, but my Catalinas are great...just hard to slip into with the current BMX Pedals I have. Really feels secure, I definitely Reccomend them!

The new ones look like they are a lot easier to slip into, so thats always a +

I dont own them but have ridden them as you described. On a track bike, not for tricks, just foot retention.

They work very well. But to be honest, I don't see man benefits over clips and straps. They do minimize or eliminate toe overlap if that is a big thing for you.

They do work on some track pedals, but are more designed for BMX pedals. I dont like BMX pedals so that is a big deal for me.

here they are on track pedals...was just wondering if there was an advantage to using them over regular straps...

Personal preference. I like them better then cages because my toes didn't get forced into the ends of the cage, which hurts a bit. I found them perfectly fine for actually retaining my foot during fast spins and even skidzzz.

I tested the Bikeage straps pretty extensively on a few different types of pedals and found that I love them with platform pedals but not so much with track pedals.

Lilc - I see your V1s are holding up pretty well!

I watched the video feed of the 2010 UCI Track World Championships and I noticed a guy using some velcro straps like the ones mentioned in this thread.

It wasn't possible to see what brand he was using or which pedals, but I can't see it being hard to do. You can easily fit them to Dura Ace or Ultegra pedals for sure as well as LOOK pedals with that strap adapter.

Not sure what brand this is:

Pryme straps on Animal BMX pedals.....I really like these as they are comfortable and work with a variety of shoes (though I mostly ride in some variation of classic Vans)

I assume he got fed up with all of the crap we give him for not posting pictures, so he has gone into a complete troll; begging to be banned.

I'll put something together to show you.

I use single and double straps (leather) on dura ace pedals. It would be the same with nylon straps.

umm....WOW...hahahaha...i get home from work to these shenanigans...lol...gotta love this board...ne way...been thinkin about going this route, still using the same pedals, cages, and straps that my kilo tt came w/, so thought about switching it up a bit...

zlog is re-load. they work well but i don't know how they compare to catalinas. i still use clips and straps or spd's so, i've just seen friend's straps. the zlog straps just have the zlog logo on them. i think they're still less than holdfast (by six bucks) but no where near as affordable as catalinas.
