Straps Please!

Can you recommend me some good straps please. i've been riding the last 3 months to work, 120 miles a week, with double straps and cages, and recently both cages have snapped at the front, so i wanna move on to some straps instead that don't have cages that will snap. i'm on the list for JOLs, but would prefer to get some sooner rather than later.

Thanks!

Get some mks double toe straps, they will not fall apart, no matter how wet and battered they may get.

they are pricey though: http://www.on-one-shop.co.uk/acatalog/info_PEMKTSDS.html

and then get some mks clips also sold at on-one.

That combination will give you all the retention you could possibly need.

MKS clips....hmmmm, oh yes, now I remember, I busted 3! in 1y.
They´re shit (for everyday use, road, etc... made for track!).
Get plastic if you so want to use cages, I have Shimano plastic cages, they´re really
flexible, nicely designed, and last forever.

I'm really surprised, did your straps have the laminate reinforcement? i have had my mks straps for over a year and they are still fine, they are under a lot of strain because of skid stopping and yet they are still in good condition, i would have thought the only possible way of breaking them was with scissors!

he is talking bout clips...

Your right.... im a knob and its too early for reading and writing :)

I've been riding power grips for about 1 year. I must say I'm not on them everyday, but they're pretty tough and do the job.

sorry, i should of been clearer, i don't want any cages. they've totally ruined my last two pairs of trainers

You can make a pair for about a 5er (plus pedals to suit) if you have a willing mum with a sewing machine. or see if Scott (achiegro bag's) is making his yet.

I've just started using Power grips (until my JOL straps are made!) I can see that they might damage my trainers after a bit of use. 2 weeks on them so far.

JOL straps > all other shitty JOL strap wannabes, Hold Fast are aight though, if you want clip free straps it would have to Hold Fast or JOL for me, 2 best quality products out there.

My JOL straps took a beating on my trick bike for 6 months plus and are now living on, on someone elses trick bike :)

...or see if scott (achiegro bag's)

hahaha!!

alright some quick typing and not reading what I've written. oops

I think it also depends on your pedals. I've not seen them in the flesh, however the JOL and Hold Fast's seem to only fit the fat 'trick' style pedals by threading through the body, on my small, flat track pedals there's no room for that. Plus, power straps bolt on so there's minimal chance of little fuckers making off with them while you've popped into the shops.
