asked by: a guest should a new rider start out with clips or clipless pedals
A.
anwered by: canteau Depends on your budget, If you can afford shoes and clipless pedals, you are going to get better performance and they are also gong to be safer. In the event of a crash a clipless pedal is going to release where a toe strap is going to remain firm.

asked by: a guest I assume that these clips will attach to most any bike pedal?
A.
anwered by: canteau This product includes the pedals. You would need pedals that are designed for toe clips if you are planning on removing them from the included pedals and mounting them to existing pedals. We also carry just the toe clips without the pedals.

I went on my first cross country with these pedals. I was critiqued on many occasions by those who thought that clipless were the only way to go. Eventually I gave in to the hype, and purchased a set of clipless pedals and shoes. After breaking them in, I went on a short 10 day tour to Maine from my home in New York. It took three months to finally get all the feeling back in my toes! I have reverted back to toe clip platform pedals. I have never had a problem with these, and unlike those who argue to the contrary, I have never had a problem getting out of them in a hurry. I guess its a matter of what you are used to. These pedals are a simple, solid, easy to use, affordable and durable. No bells and whistle's, they just work!

Overall I like them. They are light, quick feeling, quiet, and were easy to slip in and out of. I have only had them for a few weeks mind you.
I did have to take off the clips, because they were hitting the freddy hardcore fenders I bought. I think it's a good value for anyone needing to replace old pedals with something that's not expensive but works well.
All the correct parts are here and once your rebuild the pedal bearings correctly they are a solid 4 star.
Start by disassembling cage from cast housing. Retaining screws have Loctite on them so a little heat from an hot air gun or hair dryer will help. Remove the thin pressed-in end cap with a thin razor, exposing the bearing retention nut. Remove nut, washer and remove outer retention race - careful not to lose loose bearings. Remove spindle and re-grease both bearings with a good waterproof grease, the Vaseline like stuff they used is terrible. Reassemble spindle and adjust bearings properly. Reassemble cage with Loctite on screws.
