Hi Group,
Thinking of pulling the trigger on some Grip Kings, but am concerned
about their dimensions. Basically, I want to be able to ride in any
and all shoes/sneakers especially Chuck Taylor type shoes (actually
Keen Coronados) and Birkenstocks. Currently I am using the MKS Touring
with cages,
I had slip issues with my Merrell shoes and thr GKs. Then I got the
Keen Coronado Cruiser shoes and the grip is excellent while still
allowing me to reposition my feet without too much hassle. Five Ten
Activator shoes grip amazingly well, but still gave me hotspots on a
35 mile ride, the longest I'
Last December my Quickbeam arrived with the Touring Pedals I'd ordered and
they were great. But I got it into my head that I should try the Grip Kings
and ordered up a set. I immediately took to them and ordered another set for
my beater bike. Then I got to thinking that perhaps the Touring Pedals
I use the grip kings with no modification. I find them to grip just right -
wet or dry. I don't like the kind of grip that spikes provide because it

then down, then pulling back.

I'm curious which people like more. I've used both on my commuter bike
over the past 2 years and can't decide which I like best. They both
have pluses and minuses. Currently I have the touring pedals on my
Quickbeam and this past weekend I did a big ride on my Hilsen with
Grip Kings. I've done a co

They are great pedals once they've smoothed out. Unfortunately I don't think

The official bearing-prep for the cheaper MKS pedals is to dribble'em full
of Phil Tenacious and then ride them smooth. It has worked well for me.
That's a nice looking bike. how do you like the M-bars? I tried literally a
