I like the Grip Kings, as well. Contrary to what Grant says on the RBW site, they DO work with Power Grips. I have them on three bikes. I don't know why Grant says this, except that you have to remove the reflectors to install them. But they DO work with no trouble. On Jul 22, 6:12 am, Thomas L

+1 on the Grip Kings. I noticed they were less grippy than i liked in rain. So I put blunt studs in them and all is fine. I've used SPD pedals in the past. For a couple of years it was the most "delicate" thing about any given ride. Will the pedals feel right *this* time? Will I need to adjust the

I agree 100%. I like the sneaker pedals even more than the Grip Kings. Although the GK are nice as well. On Jul 21, 8:28 pm, Rene Sterental wrote: > I used the GK for a while and then tried the Sneaker pedals upon > Keven's recommendation. Liked them even better and "discovered" they > are gripp

I'm with Mike. Have both the GKs and RMX pedals. Personal preference is for the latter. Especially with Keens. They seem to stick to the bottom just a touch better. Not that the GKs are bad or anything. Just a personal preference. Like Bill, just used a small screwdriver to remove the dust ca

Glad you enjoy the pedals. Like you I found myself wishing the GKs were a little more grippy. I have some pedal studs for them that I need to install, I've just been lazy. Also I tried a pair of MKS RMX (sneaker pedals) and found I like them even more. I'll probably go back and forth a bit. I'll sa
