i use time atac z freerides and when i go for a real angry ride or a long one i get my northwaves on and giveitsome. but the rest of thetime i use them with my trainers and i got my no handed skids down fine... but of you want real grip without straps its gotta be proper mtb pedals with spikey bits. whats more important, sweet and secure gripand peace of mind or the lines when you stare at your bike?
true.
if you buy new pedals make sure the studs are a) replaceable - most are these days. b) the replaceable studs screw in from the bottom. its a little thing, but over time those pesky allen holes get bent and rusty and round and are a royal painin the ass to get out on the ones that go in from thetop. with the others, its a cross head screw from the bottom that doesnt get fucked so easy. details details.
