Nice Clips but one small problem |
| Rating: |  |
| Bought these for my wifes P5 Scott Hybrid and even though there is one small problem with them I will buy another pair for my P5 Hybrid when it arrives at the store. The problem with these toe clips is that the holes in the metal mounting plate is too small to snap the pedal reflectors back in. I know what some people are thinking..."Just use some force wimp" I'm a pretty solid guy and I did put force into it, to the point the push snaps on the reflector started to break. One can clearly see the difference in size of the mounting hole and the gauge of the reflector snaps. Not too big of a deal though, I am going to try to drill the hole out just a hair. Besides that little problem they are a great toe clip that goes on easy (except for the reflector) and is really sturdy unlike those that have the strap. Great product for cost. |

| I bought these clips about 2 months ago, and they still are working great. They are exactly what i need; something to keep my foot in place when i pedal hard. I have stepped on them too and they do not break. The only reason I do not give these clips 5 stars is because when you are not pedaling the weight of the clip will turn the pedal straight up and down. I go through some heavy technical maneuvers and i need to take my foot out to rest so I do not topple over. And trying to put my foot back into the slot on an incline is very hard to do. I have gotten used to it, but it is still a pain when i want to power up the hill and i cannot get my foot in properly. |

| I use these clips on my commuter which is a Flip Flop that I run fixed the majority of the time. I wanted a clip to help keep my foot from slipping off the pedal and to increase efficiency. These were perfect cause I don't like the straps that are common with Toe Clips. Why do I use toe clips rather than the more popular pedals commonly used? I just like wearing the sneakers that I am accustomed to wearing. I am a commuter and that is just what is more convenient for me. These are really strong, and after some practice your foot will slip right into them without any problem. I am getting a second pair for another bike. |

Very versatile, safe, and easy to use |

| I have used these toeclips for five months now, they are extremely versatile. I can wear my casual work shoes while biking to work, and wear my hiking shoes on camping trips, allowing me to bike and hike anytime. I also wear my cross-training shoes (every day sport shoes) while biking on mtb trails as easy as just riding to the local supermarket. In summary, these toeclips add efficiency to your peddling motion. At the same time it allows versatility - you can wear any pair of shoes, in any occasion, and any terrain. No longer restricted to just bike shoes and specific clips. To top it off, these toeclips are affordable. |

So Much Better |

| Have had the strapped toeclips for years and enjoyed them. I recently rebuilt an old bike and wanted to put them on that bike. I decided to go with the cheaper strapless toeclips and found out that they are a million times better. They feel more secure and the strap can't wear out! |

Very Durable Toeclips |

| I purchased these to replace my old, broken toeclips. These are very durable and the strapless aspect makes them much easier to get in and out of, but they are still very effective in keeping my feet on the pedals. |

| I have had these for over two years and they still feel great. I have pedalled with flip flops, tennis shoes, and hiking boots, these fit them all. Super fast entry and exit, much better than strapped toeclips. |
