Hey Chris Wiggins, thanks for the tidbit of info. I just used a
slightly larger bit, and they went in perfect!-Mike

Hey Group, just wondering if anyone has any experience with the spikes
that Rivendell sells that you can put into the Grip
I didn't even bother trying to drill out the holes. I just screwed the
little spikes into the holes with a sturdy hex wrench, letting them
self-tap their way in. Seems to work reasonably well. I've a one or two
fall out in the ensuing months but if you're putting 4-8 spikes per pedal
side,
Hey Peter,thanks for the reply. I tried that originally but it didnt
work. My problem is that I can only screw them in for like one full turn,
so the spike never really goes in, its really just sort of on top of the
pedal.Were you able to get about half of the spike to screw in?
I have to say, I ride non-spiked grip kings in all sorts of weather.
The only time I had any problem with slipping was one time when both
the pedals and the soles of my shoes were bathed in mud.
I suspect the reason for my good luck with this is the shoes. I
ususally cycle in Keen Newport
Ive only had trouble with them when riding trails and bumping around alot,
then theres some slippage

After destroying a couple of the spikes I gave up and bought a tap to cut
threads into the drilled holes. That made the spike installation much
easier. Place a drop of blue Locktite on them before installing.

Hey Group,
Great timing on this thread... I've got a bag of spikes sitting on my
workbench waiting to be installed. The Riv recommended drill then just
screw them in seemed counter intuitive. I was thinking a tap might be the
way to go. What size tap did you use, R. Utahn?
