I have thin gripsters on both my Rivs, and also have velcro hoops on the pedals, a recent addition after many miles of riding with only "naked" pedals. I have probably found the perfect setup, for me and my riding. The velcro loops can be set on the loose side of snug, so my shoes can easily be repositioned, and slide out without any drama, but also hold the shoes in generally a good position on the pedals. I can lift up if I so desire, and I can also flip the pedals over and ride without the loops on my shoes.
As to the spikes, they work well on my shoes - which are bald shot-putting shoes with stiff soles, the best cycling shoes I've yet found that aren't SPD or cleated. Good grip in the rain, too. And the gripsters really are *thin*, I had to lower my seats after putting on these pedals. The grip kings might work for some people, obviously they do, but for my taste they're quite too thick and lack required contact spots outboard of the pedal axle. - Andrew,, Berkeley -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
