Customer Rating:      Summary: Won't work with mountain bike reflector pedals Comment: These might be easy to install - if you have the right pedals. If your pedals have reflectors both front and back - and no pair of drill holes front or back - you won't be able to install them. I have three bikes - all various sizes of kids mountain bikes, including a 24/26 in one - and they all have the same dual reflector pedals.
Customer Rating:      Summary: They don't work with big heavy boots Comment: The toe of my workboots wouldn't fit into the straps. I ended up buying "Power Grips" straps so I could ride to work in winter with heavy warm boots.
Customer Rating:      Summary: good Starter clips Comment: With free shipping only, this is a great set to see if you like the whole concept of toe clips. I still haven't decided to go all the way with clips, but this set gives me plenty of experience. Just wait till you want to buy something else that will bring the total to 25 bucks or more, for free shipping.
Customer Rating:      Summary: very useful Comment: They allow you to use your legs (pistons) on the upstroke, as well. They keep your feet on the pedals, when you're charging hard and with no straps, let you put your foot on the ground in a hurry, as needs be.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Perfect for commuting Comment: I ride my bike to work. It's an eight mile ride so I don't change clothes, I just bike in with whatever I'm wearing to the office. I wear dress shoes and these clips really allow me climb hills without scuffing or wearing out my nice shoes. I find that I'm also able step out of these at a red light with ease.
They only took a few minutes to attach to my pedals. I've been using them for about eight weeks with no trouble.
When I'm really climbing, I can feel the flex of the plastic. This doesn't present a problem for me, but I suspect a serious mountain biker would probably want something more rigid. But for riding to work; these are a great fit.
