Totally reasonable. I've dropped Grant another line asking. I didn't want to be a pest, but I suppose asking twice in six months probably isn't all that bad. I feel conflicted! I gladly downloaded the PDFs you posted, Jim, as it nearly completes my collection. Happy to do my part and share mine

[RBW] Pedal Retention Questions

Never tried power grips but I’m using HoldFast with spiked VP pedals and I find they work very well for my needs with fixed gear riding and easy enough to pull my foot out when necessary. Through two winters of moderate use they are frayed and showing signs of wear from occasionally dragging

Re: [RBW] Re: Shipping handlebars

The problem with road bars is there's a lot of air in the boxes they fit, and not much weight. I shipped a few 48cm Noodles recently, and just used some boxes I had received other bars in. USPS Priority was maybe $12-$15 to nearby states, $20 +/- to the West Coast from NJ. I don't have any empty

[RBW] Re: Pedal Retention Questions

I'm going to step up once more with a recommendation for Blackspire pedals. On their website, you'll find a $22 (Canadian) rebuild service. That entire cost is the return International Priority shipping from Canada ($16 US), and last time I sent them pedals, had them back in one week.

I have used both. Now, I don't do off road fixed gear riding but.based on your goal to keep things simple and knowing the good natured, punishment your bike(s) endure, I would say the Hold Fast are a better option. IME the Power Grips have more parts (to fail and lose) and are also a bit
