Clipless Pedals with Clips and Straps - How??
I'm currently using Shimano 105 clipless pedals, but I want to add clips and straps. Has anyone here done this? If so how?

Must be the "sink-or-swim" method for learning to track-stand.

I've seen clipless + straps, but no clips.
Slotting 105s for straps can be done with a Dremel. Don't come crying to me when you ruin your perfectly good $100 pedals, though.

dont track cyclists do this sometimes just for added security in case they clip out when at high speeds? pretty sure i have heard this somewhere, but i could be wrong

Some track sprinters add straps to there pedals because they have so much power on a standing start. Pedals aren't designed for guys that can lift buses with their legs to be pulling up on them at full strength. Any one not doing full power standing starts won't ever need it.

a $15 pedal wench, platforms w/ straps and the 5 minutes it takes to change pedals will be much easier.
