Re: [RBW] "Stop pulling up on your pedals"

I put a pair of standard clipless pedals (Crank Bros) on my Brompton. For day-to-day folding this doesn’t cause a problem. If I need to put it in a case, I just have to remove the non-drive pedal, which of course no longer folds. Takes a few seconds. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com

Hmmm, looks like I can get them as a custom "bumper sticker" that'll fit 5 of them at 3" tall x 2" wide... I think that'd work as a tubing decal. Any thoughts on that as a size? if anyone else wants some, I'll see about getting a short batch maybe early next month. On Friday, December 11, 2015
