| FavoriteTrail: | Mercer and Clayton NJ |
| Duration Product Used: | 3 months |
| Price Paid: | $20 |
| Strengths: | Great control, easy in and out, works with almost any MTB pedal |
| Weaknesses: | None so far |
| Similar Products Tried: | Speedplay Frogs, cage pedals |
| Bike Setup: | Fetish Discipline frame with XT and Marzocchi Flylight fork, Nashbar discs |
| Bottom Line: | I have been riding this setup for a few months now and I am amazed how something so simple could be the answer to all my pedal prayers. I stopped riding clipless because they were a little inconvenient in and out and I am a somewhat aggressive XC rider and tend to do things that make me have to get out of the pedals quick sometimes. The cage thing was a pain, having to reach down and tighten the strap every time and it just comes loose again. The control was iffy at best. Clipless were just a little too positive and hard to bail from. Power Grips are the perfect compromise. They are just a fraction less positive then clipless, but a world more positive than cages. You can bail from them as quick as you take your foot off the pedal, but when you want them to hold they are almost like clipless. Perfect for aggressive off road riders! Road riders should stick with clipless. |
