My Review of Power Grips
21-Oct-08
Get the locked-in security of clipless pedals, yet have the instant and predictable release needed in extreme conditions–all at an affordable price
Great for commuting
Gift: No
Pros: Increases Pedaling Efficiency, Adjustable, Reliable Entry/Exit, Lightweight
Cons: Difficult To Adjust
Best Uses: Road Biking
Describe Yourself: Casual Cyclist
I use these on a road bike to commute to work. I like being able to wear my work shoes and be able to go up steep hills easily. I have had to bail out once and I didn’t even have to think about it, I just came out of them naturally, so you won’t get stuck unintentionally in them.
They are a little difficult to fine-tune, because you have to use an allen wrench, but once you have the measurements down, you are good to go. The initial installation took me about 30 minutes. I also had to buy a set of “standard” pedals, because the ones that came with my bike were not compatible with these straps.
