anyone have recommendations for good, affordable (under $20) pedals to go with my new Hold Fast straps?

Ah, I see, so you guys detach the velcro flap and tighten on the fly? How do you think the velcro will hold up in the long run? Seems like it would degrade over time.

I’ve been riding with these for about 3 months now, and the only thing I can say abut them is that they’re great! I use ‘m for commuting, trick riding and long distance racing and they work fine for all! They make your feet feel real secure and I’ll never go back to old school toeclips. Trust me, they’re worth every single penny!

@Rand0m

they are even easier to adjust than toe straps as it’s just one quick tightening/loosening of the Velcro flap. Strap buckles get all chewed up, rusty and they tear up the straps. Not to mention the clips break and bend.

I’ve been using these for two months every day as a courier and you couldn’t pay me enough to use anything else

Please, please, please edit for style. Very interesting but so dry

Since these straps are set and forget, how tight do they feel around your foot? With clips/straps you can tighten/loosen while pedaling. Better for pedal stroke and better for skidding/back pedaling. Do you recommend these for riders that like to ride fast and sometimes far rather than focusing on tricks and polo?

Exactly Ghost Rider, these are really quite different than Powergrips.

They look like they’ll fit the MKS Grip Kings, but the pass-through slots of the pedal body may be cut out a bit much for these to work best.

Ha! I was waiting for the “they look like Powergrips” comment. When “Feetbelts” came out, that was a valid comparison but these Hold fasts are truly different.

Love the idea and they’re getting rave reviews elsewhere from freestylers. Any idea if they’ll fit MKS Grip Kings?
