Wanted: Foot retention

  • I have pretty small feet, size 7. The toe clips on my bike feel too big. I went to a bike shop and the guy wasn't sure what to do - any ideas/any for sale?

    Thanks

  • Clipless........

  • Would re straps be good ones to go for?

  • Toe clips come in different sizes.I guess you'd want small:

    If you're in london, go to Condor as they have a few you could probably try on. What type of shoes do you wear? and what type of pedals do you use?

  • They're just normal ones with toe clips at the moment. The small ones on that site look good. I just wear vans or trainers on my bike, no proper bike shoes.

  • Sorry - thanks for your reply!

  • I'd have thought something like Van's would fill up the clips fairly easily, whereas say converse might not.

    For this style of straps people tend to use bmx pedals. If you want to know which are good freestyle/cmx forums would be the places to ask.

    I have also heard of people pairing them with the zefal toe clips which aren't mean to need straps, to give even more security.

    I find that those big strap style straps seem to put the ball of your foot further forward than you'd want. But that might just be me.

  • Yeah, at the moment I'm pedalling with my arch a lot of the time which isn't good. Think I'm going to try the small toe clips and if not these ones - http://restrap.co.uk/old/home.html

  • I've got some unused restraps you can have for a tenner

    Are they the ones that go on normal pedals? I can't seem to get there shop working.

  • If you want i have a pair of as new odyssey twisted pedals and some homemade holdfast style straps you can have for £20.

    My pedals are ok - just need some straps/different toe clips.

    Thanks though
