Wanted: Power Grips

Posted on
  • If anyone has a pair they want rid of will take them off your hands.

    Failing that, anyone can recommend somewhere cheap to pick a pair up...

  • Let me know how you get on with them. I Googled them the other day and found they're only £12 or so.

  • dont know anywhere cheap but i use them and in my opinion they are absolutely brilliant.

    if you are a cyclist who doesnt wear lycra and likes to fit a pair of sneakers into your straps whilst feeling completely connected tot he pedal then get some. i feel like im selling them, they are brilliant though. i am quite stoned.

  • +1 snoops.

    PowerGrips™ are brilliant, better than straps and cages in my own opinion, I don't use them now (but did for years) as I have had SIDIs+Bebops for years (which in the grand scheme of things win on pretty much everything), but if I wanted to cycle in normal shoes I would always go for PowerGrips over cages and straps.

    It is every cyclists duty to give these things a try, they are that good.

  • been meaning to try them for some time

  • dunno if they ship to england but $19.62 is under a tenner.

  • How soon do you want them?

    I've got a pair, but they're sat on my self at home. Not sure when people will be coming to London to visit.

  • I've got a set for sale - unused. Call it 10coins

  • I went to a haberdashers(sp?) and bought some webbing and velcro and made some myself.

    Didn't work out so well.

  • I remember that. They looked the part shame they didn't work.

  • Object, yes please (its Z who wants them btw not me). I'll let her know and we can figure something out.

  • I have the straps and most of the fixings but i am missing a bolt or two. If someone wants them for nothing e-mail me and they are yours!

  • Do these work on BMX pedals?

  • oops sorry object didn't mean to step on any toes...

  • these sound really interesting (just been reading about them), so you say they're better than cages..? do they hold your feet in well enough riding fixed?

  • Well i tried them,

    but in my opinion they dont hold your feet like clips or clipless do! Didn't like them as they didn't feel safe for stopping! sorry should point out i am riding fixed with no brake (as it were).

  • i see people that use them having about an inch or so of lift of the pedal while skidding. yikes!

  • Hey casp dont worry about it, i'll take the ones off object. cheers for the offer tho

  • np

  • I use them, they're good if you get them the right length

  • thought you wanted to try them? confused!

  • wow sorry! got my posts mixed up! had a few beers tonight losing it slightly...
