velonoir

For those of you who already have them do any of you ride in Skate shoes or shoes that don't tend to fit your foot particularly snugly? I was just wondering how they'd feel, like if your shoes have to be done up really tight to make your feet feel secure when pulling up. I'm going to try these after running clipless for a long time and really looking forward not horsing around spare fucking shoes all the time.

overandout

Imagine changing the idea slightly, attaching a rope to it and putting it on a surfboard?!
http://www.pitsurfshop.com/store/images/FCS_9ft_Surf_Leash_Knee.jpg
this will hopefully not get me edited off the waiting list...

^^
exactly!
I pulled apart an old leggie very similar to that a month or so back to see if I could fashion a stap or two out of it. wasnt feeling very creative so did the right thing and ordered JOLs straps.
...they make great washing lines tho

For those of you who already have them do any of you ride in Skate shoes or shoes that don't tend to fit your foot particularly snugly? I was just wondering how they'd feel, like if your shoes have to be done up really tight to make your feet feel secure when pulling up. I'm going to try these after running clipless for a long time and really looking forward not horsing around spare fucking shoes all the time.

I think it depends on your pedal set-up velonoir. I'm using some V12s (which, tbh, I never had any problems slipping off, thanks to the shin-killer pins) and if I'm strapped up in loose skate shoes my foot will come straight out, leaving the shoes in place - invisible man stylee!

One answer (as I think has been posted elsewhere) is to remove some of the top-side pins so you can get in and out easier. However, I'm currently experimenting with securing my shoes ultra tight and ripping them in and out to see if they'll develop some grooves for easy access (V12s are pretty nifty at sole demolition).

The straps are great btw - although they are taking a bit of getting used to for weirdos like myself (I've just discovered I don't normally have my feet centered over the pedals but rather jammed up against the crank arms). The straps are forcing me out of this habit, so the q-factor suddenly seems a tad... ahem... Buster Gonad sized...

Any news on straps?

Just ordered some A Bike Co Hamilton Sealed BMX platform pedals off Evans Cyles for £40 instead of £60. I am well pleased woth that result. How many people have you scratched off the list now JOL?

I ride in old Rowley XLTs that aren't done up tight. Still very secure. I slipped out for the first time on Sunday and could still stop with one foot in before the wall.

What great timing - one of my MKS clips has broken. Come on number 9!

Booga

I know I'll get a slightly biased opinion posting in this thread, but for someone like me just starting to ride fixed with foot retention would these (or something similar but not as good like powergrips) be easier to get along with than traditional style track pedals with toeclips & straps?
• #242

oval

I have a hard time getting into clips & straps, I find much easier to get the foot in with Power Grips.
• #243

edmundro

Get whatever works for the time being and put your name down for jols.
They look epic in the flesh. Can't wait for mine.
I like clips and straps but sometimes i muck up getting my left foot in for a couple of rotations and scrapes along. No big deal though...
• #244

Joao_bcn
I'm out! I want it now, can't wait until 43 people get their straps before me...I think I'll just sew my own version and call it GOL or KOL or maybe BOL...

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
