Comments about Power Grips Sport Pedal Kit:

I bought these for my commute to dental school in San Francisco in 2008. 6 miles a day up and down SF's hills pulling and pushing like a madman on these for 3 years from Baker Beach to Pacific Heights, plus all the recreational rides all around the city, the Marin Headlands, and anywhere I felt like going (I climbed every hill in San Francisco, just cuz I liked to). I only ever had these pedals and never ever wanted anything else. I did cater my dress-shoes (professional dress code at school) to not get torn up by these, but they're actually not too hard on shoes after all.

If I wore my big skater shoes, they didn't quite fit with how I had them adjusted, and if I wore my slip-on Vans, they were a little loose. Otherwise, they hold your feet super snug, are super reliable, efficient, and indestructible. They're still on the bike, though I'm not riding it much anymore. But for the several years of daily use and several thousand miles on them, they work like new (though they don't look it).

I would definitely buy them again, BUT I don't need to because they are STILL rock solid.

Bought these as a secondary set when not clipping in. They work very well and hold on tight. These are also adjustable for different size feet and shoes.

Comments about Power Grips Sport Pedal Kit:

Thes pedals a a great halfway between clip ons and clipless pedals. I use the same hard tail MTB for my 1 mile trip to work, riding with my young kids around the neighborhood streets and riding off trail. I have ZERO desire to wear different shoes to just get to work. I don't know what to say to the people that say they are hard to get their feet in to or that these pedals are not "ready out of the box" I am pretty uncoordenated and I had no learning curve on them. As far as being out of the box ready, I opened the box and bolted them on, adjusted the straps and done. The one gripe I have is they are a little heavy, but for the extra $$ you can get the high performance model that weigh nearly half as much. When I get a road bike next year I will probably use clipless pedals for the greater efficency but for an all around bike these are the best I have ever used.

Works better and easier than toe clips but disappointed that out-the-box petals come without road reflectors that must be purchased and installed separately.

Comments about Power Grips Sport Pedal Kit:

Bought this [...] and it has been a nightmare. He stated these were so much superior to the strapless toe clips which turned out to be completely false. They have a twist lock mechanism as the box states which is great as long as you are not in any accident. However I bike in the city and having your legs locked to your pedal after a fall can be deadly. They ride great but be cautious using them in high traffic areas. Also I dispute the fact that these were so much better than the strapless toe clips. They are only marginally better at best conditions. For the money it was not a good deal for me.

Comments about Power Grips Sport Pedal Kit:

these pedals worked as advertised. My feet felt tight and secure. I put them on Saturday night and went on a 45 mile excursion on Sunday. Worked so nicely I forgot they were on. I had no problems and the large strap makes for easy entry/exit. If you have wide feet you might want to consider the longer straps.

Comments about Power Grips Sport Pedal Kit:

I bought this product for a Raleigh Passage 5.0 hybrid; which I ride about 90 miles a week. I purchased these to upgrade from O.E.M. flat platform pedals. Right out of the box I found and had to resolve the following issues: A) Pedal bearings adjusted too tight; B) Very little bearing grease used by manufacturer; C) The pedal adjusting straps needed adjustment to fit my sport shoes; but one of the mounting screws was so incredibly tight, I had to hold the screw head in a bench vise in order not to strip the head with the screwdriver. After I started using these pedals, I found the "in" access to the straps to be difficult and no amount of adjustment (which I find very limited) can resolve the problem). I find that when my shoe is finally in, the shoe sole does not make full contact with the pedal platform, leaving a small section of the shoe out of the pedal. I will have to keep these pedals after all because I have already started to make some modifications to them, but I do not like this product at all. Finally, servicing these pedals is difficult due to their design.

Comments about Power Grips Sport Pedal Kit:

I used these for about a year on my commuter, but later moved them to my tandem.

I always use street shoes on our tandem, but it can be hard to get up hills without clipping in. I find them equally easy to clip in compared to traditional toe clips/straps, and easier to get out. I can also wear them tighter than regular straps.

They do make my big toes numb after about twenty miles (but so do my SPD shoes). We rarely go that far on the tandem anyway.

My stoker straps in with toe clips, but she rarely takes her feet off the pedals.

Comments about Power Grips Sport Pedal Kit:

I couldn't user toe clips on my bike becuase of front tire overlap so I tried power grips. They are light and works better than toe clips. Getting in and out is easy. I didn't have to make any adjustments because the fitting was perfect out of the box. The adjustments on it seems to be easy if needed. Getting in and out was also easy. It took 10 minutes to get comfortable with them. If you are in a hurry and couldn't get your foot in the power grip, you can just step on it. After taking your foot off, the power grip will open back up allowing for easy entry. Much more expensive than toe clips but works much better. I use them for commuting.
