  1. Hi all,

    anyone know where I can get on-line some non-clipless pedals ( toeclip
    compatible ) suitable for a racer type bike . Yes, I've tried SPD,
    Look etc but I just prefer my clips and toestraps.

    Thanks for any help ( from an old stuck in his ways geezer )

    Davy.

    don't look too shabby and are nice and cheap.

    funny how things work i'll give clipless pedals a go some time, but for
    the moment narly flats work well for me.

    i tryed bar ends on my road fitted mountain bike, and hated them, i felt
    all squeezed in. so off them went.

    They are available unless the track sprinters are using up old stock.
    Some of them still use toe clips and two straps.

    Those chaps in Bridgewater seem to have some nice ones

    A colleague has some really nice Shimano toe-clip sealed bearing
    pedals, but I can't find anywhere that stocks them. Instead, I got
    some reasonable jobs from my LBS. Had to go back a couple of times
    because they don't carry much stock and nor does the firm who keep
    them stocked with such things.

    Not a lot of help, sorry.

    H'mmm... they say the 'quick remove' ones take clips. I wonder how
    effective taking the pedals off would be as an anti-casual-theft measure?

    I have the GR-9s on my Sardar, really comfortable on shorter runs, the issue
    i foudn was as the pedal only has 1 side using them with your foot out of
    the clips can be unfomfortable if doing it for any length of time. This was
    of course much prefferable to having numb toes.

    Dear All,

    thanks all for the info. Edinburgh bicycle has a good range. Will
    never use SJS as they over charged me once after giving me their
    expert opinion.

    Should of added to my request that I still. use old fashioned cleats.

    New pedals are just part of my master plan to start to re-use my racer
    since I abandoned it because it was just too unconfortable. ( saddle
    to hard, pedals (clipless just too awkward ), handlebar reach ( easy
    swap fix ), gear range ( not so easy CT chainset swap ) )

    Appreciate all of your help, Davy
