If there is such a thing as a perfect bicycle product, the sneaker pedal is it. The only drawback I can find is it's too cheap, so people think it's less wonderful. A smart marketer would double the price and limit supply. Joe Bernard Vallejo, CA. -- You received this message because you are

Thanks for the comments so far. Sneaker pedal versus rubber block? Can anyone give me the rise and sweep-back of the Dove? Additional question: mirror? She bought and I installed this mirror: http://www.bicyclebuys.com/accessories/Mirrors/0139961R But (a) the lense popped out three times in

Jim and Tom: The German mirror is the one, then. Tom: I see you're leaning the bike against the wall with it -- must be much better than the Cateye. I'm inclined to go with rubber pedals, too as they will grip (sort of) leather or hard rubber soles as well as athletic soles. or perhaps Sneakers

Subject: Re: [RBW] Handlebar, saddle and pedal questions ICW Novara Fusion Thanks -- definitely the one to get. Twice the $ of the Cateye but at least 100,000 times better, apparently.

I can send you a large rectangle of skateboard grip tape for the pedals you have already, if you'd like to try it. Best thing ever for feet and things-feet-should-stick-to. Philip biketinker.com On Wednesday, August 29, 2012 3:14:07 PM UTC-7, Patrick Moore wrote: Jim and Tom: The German
