Re: [BentPacNW] Re: PowerGrip straps/pedals vs clips
Mark:
Mine indeed appear to be 43-44. E-mail me off-list if you want them, and let's see what we can work out.

Hi John - thanks for the nice offer. I'm apparently a size 43/44, as
I just tried some SPD sandals at my lcoal LBS and the 41/42 were too
small.
It only took one large bump on my trike run this past week (albeit on
a very rocky part of our road- not nmy usual fare) for me to realize
that I just have to have this equipment (or a quick & dirty standby)
RIGHT NOW.

Hello All - My recumbent trike came with SPD hybrid clipless pedals, but as yet I have no shoes, so I'm thinking powergrip straps for my hybrid pedals. What's...

Being clipped in is a must. Power Grips would probably work, but any clipless pedal will be quicker to get into and will probably be more secure. My...
