Pro-Grip II Pedal Straps

UPDATE: Just over a year, and they're still great! I've upgraded pedals, to remedy the wear I was experiencing in my initial review. Lovin' em so far. I've had the for a few months. They are starting to wear fast, but that's my fault for not having pedals where I can feed them through the side. Mine have to go under the bottom outer edge of my WellGo pedals, and they hit the ground on sharp turns before my pedal does. Looking into getting new pedals that will accommodate these better. Overall though, well built, ballistic woven nylon is holding up great. Strong velcro straps stay where you put them, and don't require constant adjustment after you have them set. Great straps for a fixie like mine, or a single speed, allowing up and downstroke pedaling. Also aid in quick rear tire skid stops when on a fixie. Highly recommended for these type of bikes.

They are a great tool. If you have a fixed bike, they are not hard to put on and they are very durable.

I'm a cross country mountain biker in my schools Sophomore division one (B team). I cannot afford cycling shoes, cleats, and pedals. I opted for this cost efficient alternative. I got them today. They were true to color (white) and looked and felt like a high quality product. It was a straightforward installation. They fit on my Blacklabel pedals like a glove. I used them during our trainer spin class today. I experienced great retention and grip, no loose feeling (despite my small shoe size of US 6). Coming from toe straps, I think it there is no significant difference in power transfer. The simplicity of strapping in Velcro is more efficient and more adjustable than standard toe straps. The only con about white is how easily it can stain. However, some Shout or carpet stain remover with a damp rag can help remove those stains. I recommend this product highly if you're looking for power transfer, looks, and affordability as an addition to your cycling enthusiasm. I cannot guarantee the longevity yet, however I will update soon. I'll buy them when I get my track bike an road bike up and running. For now it will be a true test in the mountains with my first pair. Happy riding and be safe :). Update: Last week I went through a muddy ride with them after some CA showers. They got dirty, but they still held up. I use these for when I have to commute, do trainer workouts, road trips, and XC training. I received some shoes, cleats, and pedals as a little gift from my father, however these will still remain on my trainer bike. They've seen a good amount of use, and hopefully they will last a good amount of time. For cleaning, I just stick them in the laundry load with Shout or Tide when they're dirty, and hang dry them in a indoors, cool, dry environment.

Love these. Easier to install then my old PowerStraps. But like PowerStraps, they won't fit all pedals. These need pedals that allow the Velcro straps to pass through the pedal and secure to itself; like, good size holes in the pedal that allow the strap to run parallel to the pedal's spindle / axle. The straps that go through the pedals are 7/8" wide; the main strap is 2" wide. The straps also have secure with Velcro and have a second flap to secure it, so it is very secure. I can't see how they could possibly come undone accidentally. Great for mountain bikes.

Muy bien

I have a nice little hybrid bike. I wanted to have toe clips without having to purchase shoes and other specialty items... These straps totally rock! They install easily. They are tough as hell. They do everything you want from a toe clip and I can use my running shoes. Better than expected. Perfect for the hobbyist mountain biker or urban biker... I even do amateur sprint triathlons where I can bike and run in the same shoes and cut down transition times. These straps have a good ROI.

This is a nice strap by most standards. It's think, pretty durable, and looks good. The biggest problem I had was that it DIDN'T FIT MY PEDALS. I have the Origin 8 Pro Track Light pedals, so I assumed that the Origin 8 straps would fit. Not so. in the end I had to cut down the straps that run through the pedals to get them to fit. This has caused them to fray and wear much faster than they should. These straps will need a BMX style, or similar width pedal to make sure they can attach properly.

These are, admittedly, the first set of straps I've ever owned. I wanted to go for something affordable and with a name that I knew from the gear-heads at my co-op, so I chose these. This particular model is WHITE. Oooh boy are these straps bright, borderline reflective in terms of how white they are. That being said, they look fantastic on my Orbea Carpe H-50. They, so far, seem sturdy, even in the Minnesota weather, and after a little adjusting to get the strap-size correct I can kick-in with no problems. If you have small pedals, width-wise, I don't know if these are the best options, because they're fairly large. They work well on my VP Trekking pedals, which are quite broad. Installation is easy as pie, just pass the straps through the pedals and fasten around your foot.

Very sturdy and firm. Good stitching 🧵 💯🔥🎱 Great value, it’s like getting a professional set at half price!

Make sure you know what kind of pedals they fit. Worked great for me.
