Rex, I rode on Frogs almost exclusively for the better part of a decade and loved them because they gave my knees lots of freedom while keeping my feet (usually in Keen Commuters) firmly on the pedal, and they allowed me to pedal through fast corners when I felt I wanted or needed to, as when cycling on narrow lanes, roundabouts, etc. After foot surgery I decided it would be wise if I varied my pedal choice. I tried the grip kings for one winter but never really got to liking them. My foot slid around on the pedal in ways that was disconcerting. Then I sprung for a pair of the White Ind. Urban Pedal and have really liked them. They are about 1" narrower than the grip king so provide better corner clearance. I ride them with the Bruce Gordon strapless toe clip and they do a decent job of keeping my feet in place. Two downsides - the BG clips wont feel good with sandals, and the price, which is extravagant. But the pedals are a work of art. BTW, if you order them together from BG he gives a discount, but his "large" is a little tight for my size 13 New Balance sneaks.
Still love the frogs. Michael Michael On Tuesday, May 22, 2012 6:34:18 PM UTC-4, Rex Kerr wrote: > > On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 3:33 PM, Rex Kerr <rexk...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Thank you Grant.
