ahem... you mean something like this?
i have some chrome doublestrap cages that i bought from 14. they look pretty much identical to the mks ones, except for the additional strap holder.

yes i checked 14 bike co. site it was kind of a blog//. but yea i heard somewhere else that they had the MKS//NJS "double clip/cages" but there was no way for me to check their inventory on their blog/..

what is better _anyways for double straps/? a two hole/loop clip' or a four hole"" clip, or perhaps is a single hole clip preferable/? it must be personal preference but, idk. ..

those soma clips (see previous page) are probably the best cages i've ever used. they have four channels (two per strap). i use them with two single toestraps.
the ones i bought from 14 are more classic looking, and have two channels (one for each strap). i use them with two single leather toestraps.
on another bike i have a set of odge's double leather toestraps and use cages meant for a single toestrap (only one channel).
all three set-ups work well. but if you have proper double toestraps (ie, they're joined together at some point), you can just use a normal mks single toestrap cage. check out the pic from the first post of this thread to see how that works.

I had metal ones with one gate for a while. They make a horrible noise when scraping and they shape the strap into this funny triangle. I bought these and I'm very happy with them.
No more noise and they keep a nice shape for getting your foot in easily. -

the soma clips are faultless. i always feel really secure in them. i don't know anybody who says anything bad about them.
but they're all good clips. i think it's a matter of what you like. personally, i wouldn't ride the somas on a classic build. you'll find people on this forum that ride all combinations of the above set-ups. and lots that ride single straps (though i'd maybe not advise that... better safe than sorry). you can't really go too wrong with clips and straps. they're cheap enough that if you don't like your set up you can change it.

those plastic ones are known to get brittle and break. i also don't particularly like the way they look.
but yes, the sound of clips scraping on pavement is one of the worst sounds on earth. learn to clip in sooner, or get shorter crank arms! heh heh.

The plastic 4 gate clips you can get from 14 are very very good, can take a real beating, and really comfy as they spread the load well in the toe cap area.

I really don't understand peoples obsession with njs stuff....Likewise, ok so there are some nice frames and some sexy double straps, but other than that there is nothing they do that isn't really done by other non-NJS companies as well.

i was going to post that keirin racers probably used clipless pedals, but then thought i'd check out some photos. weirdly, they don't! anyone know why?
I reckon they use a pair of these (MKS EXA track pedals) along with straps. They're NJS so I don't see why not.

My question, is there such thing as a cage made for double straps?
We got inspired by this thread (among others) and found some nice double clips we are able to sell for a fair price.[URL="http://www.fixedgear.dk/the-webshop/products/clips/"][/URL]
excuse the pun.
