They are here! I got the box from my dad from the UPS man today. I'm super excited how they turned out. They will all need some rework. The bolt holes will need to be wowed out for clearance, and ovalized in some cases to line up right. I will test fit every single pair that I sell and I'll take the ugliest set for myself. The rest are available. 5 pairs $25 shipped. There will be more.
There is a tiny radius on the inside corners, so you will need to run a file on each of the four corners of the cage. You will also need to supply the slightly longer bolts. I spent a total of about 45 seconds filing, but that helped the fit a bit. Please check out the set of photos on flickr, and let me know if you want a set. Three of you already declared that you wanted a set sight unseen, so I'll give right of first refusal to those three brave early adopters (but I will not be supplying EA buttons) http://www.flickr.com/photos/45758191@N04/sets/72157629107195978/ On Friday, February 24, 2012 3:42:15 PM UTC-8, William wrote: > > Hopefully you either ignored or have long forgotten my youtube documenting > a DIY modification for my Grip King pedals > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wo0YlOqqISs > > Well, based on that, and the fact that neither my Dad nor I am very > efficient with our time, we collaborated to make Version 2.0.
