Re: [RBW] Re: Has anyone tried White Industries Urban Pedal?
I have been looking at them. Bruce Gordon has a nifty package that includes the pedals and a stainless steel or titanium toe clip. But a pair costs $250.

RE: [RBW] Re: Has anyone tried White Industries Urban Pedal?
Here's a pic of the Whites with the BG steel clips on my Quickbeam: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37542...@n04/4411496143/sizes/l/in/photostream/ . I found the BG clips so large (leaving my foot so far forward on the pedal) that I had very significant toe clip overlap, so I took the clips off. But with the clips off I didn't like the Whites as much, so I'm now using Tioga Spyder pedals that Riv used to sell, which I like better than the Whites for this bike. -Original Message- From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbw-owners-bu...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of JoelMatthews Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 10:24 AM To: RBW Owners Bunch Subject: [RBW] Re: Has anyone tried White Industries Urban Pedal? If no one else does in the meantime, I will send the pedal dimensions tonight. The Whites are not tiny by any standard.

RE: [RBW] Re: Has anyone tried White Industries Urban Pedal?
Perhaps you should try a smaller size toe clip??? The White pedals extend forward from the pedal spindle about 3/8 to 1/2 further than a traditional old Campagnolo Pedal. I run White Pedals and my strapless clips on my city bikes - there is no easier combination to get in and out of than that set up.

Re: [RBW] Re: Has anyone tried White Industries Urban Pedal?
You might want to check out Bruce Gordon's site. He has a stainless steel and Titanium toe clip for the White Industries urban pedal. http://www.bgcycles.com/accessories.html Bruce On Mon, Jun 7, 2010 at 11:45 AM, Eduardo Rosas ejro...@gmail.com wrote: I've only been riding these pedals for about a month, but i love them. I'm a relatively new rider (about 1 year in the saddle) but i did a 100K and some single track with these pedals. They spin so easily and with mks clips and straps they look fantastic. Not sure where you live but there is a small shop in Campbell, CA that had a few in stock when i bought them, send me an email if your interested in getting more info. --e On Jun 6, 3:05 pm, Rene Sterental orthie...@gmail.com wrote: Just came accross it on an online review and am curious to see if anyone has tried it and how it compares to the platform pedals Riv sells.

Re: [RBW] Re: Has anyone tried White Industries Urban Pedal?
Hey Jeff, How do the White Industry pedals compare to the Lyotards, width-wise? Thanks, Bill On Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 11:32 AM, Jeff newbe...@mail.utexas.edu wrote: I got a pair of these for my custom Rivendell (which Mark Nobilette built last week. Next stop: JB.) I got the pedals from Rene Herse, but I do want to pick up those Bruce Gordon clips to go with. Pay no more than $195 for these pedals. Also, last night I put some Lyotard Marcel Berthets on my girlfriend's Bleriot. This is the pedal that WI knocks off so beautifully. It's all about that massive, curving, art-deco kick tab. I'm thinking about getting a pair of Dromartis, the type without cleats, to send the whole interface way over the top. But for around town I'll just ride in Birks and enjoy toeing that sexy tab.
