Toe Straps
Hi there.
I think I found another advantage to inexpensive clipless pedals. That advantage is that toe straps are close to 1/2 half the price of clipless pedals; 2/3 the price with shipping added. I want to get some reasonable quality toe straps for some of my pedals. What do you recommend? Do any of you know of any Canadian sources for toe straps at a reasonable price? I looked at Ebay and a few on-line stores but I don't want to have to pay over $20 for toe straps and then another $10 to $20 for shipping. Thanks from Peter |

I used toeclips and straps years ago and am glad to be done with them. I LOVE my clipless pedals. Actually, I use my clipless (speedplay frogs) on my go-fast and regular step-on pedals on my commuter. Nevertheless, if you enjoy using clips and straps, go for it. Btw, if you want an alternative to clips and straps, check out these straps: http://www.rivbike.com/products/list...product=14-046 |

Btw, if you want an alternative to clips and straps, check out these straps: http://www.rivbike.com/products/list...product=14-046 I have three pairs of clipless road pedals and I tried clipless mtb pedals. I far prefer my pedals with the toe clips. With the toe clips and straps I can wear *ANY* shoe at any time whenever I want to go for a ride which is nice. I have an ancient pair of Detto leather cycling shoes and I have a very old pair of Addidas Eddy Merckz cycling shoes. The latter ae drilled for Look type cleats but I have a worn out pair that I modified for the toe clip equipped pedals. I see that Yellow Jersey sells cleats very similar to them. I see toe straps for $8.00 on the page your link goes to but I can't click on them because that darn add for the Power Grips is in the way. I'm not interested in the Power Grips. Maybe I'll just order the toe straps sight unseen. What are their delivery tiimes like? Thanks and cheers from Peter |

Thanks from Peter There are no local bike shops in Canada??? Of course, you might live far away from a population center. But otherwise, check out your local bike shop. Chances are they have a box of take-off pedals, with toe clips & straps, from new bikes where the buyer wanted to go to clipless. They'll either sell you the toe clips & straps cheap, or maybe even the entire setup (pedal with toe clip & strap) for a song. --Mike Jacoubowsky Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReaction.com Redwood City & Los Altos, CA USA |

There are three bike shops here in town. Clipless especiallt MTB is all the rage here and toeclips and/or straps are not to be found except for some really cheap Chinese made ones that the strap hardly goes through the buckle of. I even tried the re-cycle bike shop to no avail. Cheers from Peter |

Perhaps someone can suggest a local source. I've seen nylon straps and plastic toe clips at Canadian Tire. I think most of the local bike shops around here have similar in stock and will order leather straps and metal clips if you ask nicely. The wholesaler/distributor Cycles Lambert lists them in their catalog and I imagine most others do as well.http://www.cycleslambert.com/customers/en/ Marcus- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Hi Marcus and thanks. I'm in Ontario and I bought some of those real crappy Canadian Tire toe straps and clips. I had a devil of a time getting the strap through the buckle and it did not want to release when the buckle was opened. Tomorrow I'll try two of the shops here in town and see if they can order decent toe straps without having to put in a Big $ order. Cheers from Peter |
