[RBW] Re: Experience with mini "half clips" ?

With 40 years' practice, I'm pretty good at getting in the 2nd toe clip on the first half-rev. But what my daughter hated was dragging it around for several revs before getting the second foot engaged. On Monday, May 23, 2016 at 2:51:43 PM UTC-5, Jack B wrote: > > ... > > Around town I found

Thanks for all the replies. I ended up buying some of the MKS Cage Half Clips, and put about 75 miles on with them over the weekend, then about 20 more miles in the city today. On the 75mi ride (actually split up into 2 days) I wore samba-like sneakers, and felt like I really had to lift my

my daughter rode many miles on MKS city pedals with nylon half-clips. She's happier with Fyxation Mesa 61 platforms. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send

I have those MKS Cage Clip Halfs on my XC Pro pedals, after using some plastic Zefal half clips before them. They're both great, but the MKS are just that bit more classy and cool-looking. Eric Liu SF, CA On Friday, May 20, 2016 at 8:32:59 PM UTC-7, Andrew Patteson wrote: > > I have half

I have used regular half-clips and the "Deep" half-clip from VO. I much prefer the deep ones. I wear a size 9 shoe so it's not to accommodate a large foot just a better position over the pedal. Also I can wear shoes or most hiking boots once I bent the toe part up a little. Mostly I like to

I use V-O half-clips with White Industries pedals on my road bike, and they work great. The WI pedals are smooth, so I like the retention the half-clips give. Not the same connection as clipless or clips and straps, but better for me than flat pedals alone. --Tom in VA On Friday, May 20, 2016

[RBW] Re: Experience with mini "half clips" ?

I have half clips of various types on all of my bikes. They're a just-right compromise for me. This kind is new to me and I think they are the best of all. Andrew in SLC -- You received this message because you are

Re: [RBW] Re: Experience with mini "half clips" ?

I actually find getting into semi-tight straps easier than getting into single sided "clipless" pedals, at least on fixed gears. I have clips/straps on the folder, and getting my slip ons into them takes less time than getting into the M 324s that they replaced. The straps are tight enough to hug

[RBW] Re: Experience with mini "half clips" ?

I use half clips on riding around bikes, and full w/straps on longer rides. 'Getting into' straps only takes a fraction of a second (like friction shifting or looking at a map) and I prefer those while touring or long day rides. I'm about to try the fancy leather mks halfs on a riding around

[RBW] Re: Experience with mini "half clips" ?

One word of caution: I haven't tried the steel MKS ones, but have tried both plastic ones and a couple of different sizes of Bruce Gordons. In both cases, they were too short. In other words, they didn't allow my toes to slide in far enough forward. Bruce offers extra-large ones, which
