If you get the GK's put some pins into them as a custom option. They really help. I ride a couple different BMX style platforms (with pins) and my feet stick to them just fine. On May 22, 3:33 pm, Rex Kerr wrote: > Thank you Grant.  I might be ordering a set of King Grip pedals soon to > give the

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 c

Thank you Grant. I might be ordering a set of King Grip pedals soon to give them a try -- I did ride them on your Hunqapillar bike the last time I was there, and IIRC they supported my feet well. And in the meantime, I'll keep trying to retrain myself. :-) On Sat, May 19, 2012 at 8:20 PM, Grant

I agree with all...but happen to have micro-knowledge about some particulars. The Grip King pedal has the best clearance of any pedal we sell...was designed to win and does. Much of this is obvioius, but here it is all at once: Pedal clearance is only a function of how far the pedal sticks out (rel

I pedal strike on occasion on my AHH with 175 cranks and king grips. I have another bike that needs new cranks, so I'm leaning towards moving the current 175 AHH cranks over and getting 170s for Homer. But like others have said... I think it's more a user error than a problem with the bike. --

I wouldn't worry about it. If you're riding a Riv you probably aren't racing...don't pedal through the corners and keep your outside crank in the down position if you are turning agressively at high speed (you should do that regardless of what pedal you are using). I've used the MKS touring pedal

Hmmmweird.would think the diff to be only 10 -12mm since the thickness of the pedal cage is about one inch with the axle running through the center. On those froggy pedals the axle is the same basic size and so wouldn't be more than 6 -7 mm farther from the ground. (I'm curious, maybe do so
