I tried the Grip Kings and, to my dismay, the proportions and axle location didn't work for me. I have a short wide foot, women's size 6, and wear very soft shoes when I ride (chuck taylors, soft-soled moccasins). The GP's were long for my foot but I think I could've gotten over that; it was more that the axle doesn't extend to the cage (port/starboard, not bow/stern so to speak) and created a lump toward the center of the pedal right under the ball of my foot. (This also happens with the new EZ quick-release MKS pedals.) I've wound up staying with the MKS touring pedals and found a home for the GK's. I'd recommend seeing if you can borrow a pair and try 'em out wearing your softest regular riding shoe before you make the purchase.
Has anyone tried the VO City or Touring pedals? liesl minneapolis On May 11, 9:39 am, bwgride <bwgrif...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have the grip king.
