I have the touring pedals on a Ram and a Road and the Grip Kings on a Saluki. I
like them both, but for different riding. For touring comfort and a relaxed
ride, the Grip Kings. For a quicker pace, higher cadence and snappier feel, the
touring pedals. I've used Power grips and they do help with keeping feet on the
pedals in slippery conditions and if you train yourself to pedal in a circle
(or a triangle), let you use your hip flexors to pull the pedals up. They are
easier by far to get in and out of than cleats. They do drag the ground, like a
toe clip if you have a low BB/long crank, but allow more movement on the pedal
than a toeclip (or a cleat of course which allows none). Currently, I have no
retainer system on any of my pedals, and find I ride no slower than before. I
like the free feeling of moving my feet around on the pedals, especially if
cramping. I'd say I get about 2/3 of a circle of power by reaching forward,
then down, then pulling back.
Of course, I cannot pull upwards on the pedals.
