Another all in for MKS sneaker pedals. I like to move my feet around a lot as well, so have abandoned clips and straps, SPD and their ilk, etc. I still get decent grip in rain wearing Chuck Taylors. Jeff Hagedorn Warragul, VIC Australia -- You received this message because you are subscribed t

[RBW] Re: Favorite pedals?

I'm not past clipless, but like the choice to ride without. So, I like the Shimano "Campus" pedals (A530) which are platform on one side and SPD on the other. Sometimes I'll reach for the wrong side, but it's easy to flip them without looking. Best/worst of both worlds. On Friday, April 12,

One more thing about Bruce Gordon's Half Clips: Bruce modestly describes them as city bike hardware. I find them well suited to multi-day touring. They keep your feet in place yet allow modest shifts during the long haul which I anyway find helps prevent my feet getting sore. -- You receive

I used to like BMX pedals or the MKS sylvans, but I have rubber block pedals on all my bikes now because they don't tear up my shoes, which often times have leather soles (moccasins). My current fav is the wellgo LU-868 pedal.

The VP-001 (Thin Gripsters) are my favorite. I had been using Grip Kings on most of my bikes, but the VP's are taking over. I am even trying a set on my Karate Monkey right now. After riding clipless for 20 years on my mountain bikes, it took a few rides to get used to, but the VP's haven't

VP Gripsters without a doubt. No need for straps and comfortable over the long haul. Work well with Sambas. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

Thanks to all for the fine suggestions; I'm most likely to stay clipless, though am now aware of the wide rider support for SPDs. It''ll be good to try out some options (and Grip Kings are coming on one of those already built Sams on sale; I had already ordered the frame on sale, and just went

[RBW] Re: Favorite pedals?

no wonder, those are gorgeous - the much higher end version of the MKS GR-9 and strapless clips I put on my daughter's bike. On Friday, April 12, 2013 9:26:06 AM UTC-5, Tom Goodmann wrote: > > I notice that bikes new and used often come without saddles and pedals, > and I have a pedal choice t
