I have both and prefer the GKs. As you noted, they're great with soft-soled shoes, so they're great with Chaco sandals in the summer. I have big feet, so after riding the GK bike for a while, the Touring pedals feel really small. My shoes are also wider than the Touring, so i don't mind so much hanging over the outside edge. They're nice for riding fixed too, they seem to have a little more clearance than the Touring. My only real complaint is that i'd like to open them up for a regreasing and having a hard time getting the plastic caps off. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
