How much grip do these offer? The problem I'm having is my stock clutch pedal is kind of slick and my shoe slides on it when I don't want it to.

The Sparco pedals definitely improve grip. Each of the holes in the pedals has a raised edge and these provide traction against your shoe's sole. If you spend any time on track where you need to use the pedals precisely, like when heel/toe downshifting, you'll really appreciate the added pedal grip. Also when your mounting the pedals you can get the brake and gas pedals closer together to make the heel/toe action easier.

Just be sure to get the ones that are the short version. They have models that are designed for grip shift. Mine fit fine. Check their website, they show the differences if I am not mistaken. Really like these.

Yes.These pedals are adequate. However, if you're looking for pedals as good as Shimano...not these. The clip in/out is not smooth. Quality is not high.

I only bought them cause of theprice. I havent used the official Harleys but these have rusted pretty bad in two years and they shake loose all the time. I lost my shifter pedal going didn the freeway last summer.

Do yourself a BIG favor, buy Talon grips. They fit tremendously well and come in a textured or rubber material.At $18 they are a great investment.

It boils down to how long the grip is that covers the handle bar. I ordered xl but I ended up getting small. By time I realized it, it was too late. Still usable I just have to adjust my grip shifters. If I can help any other way let me know. Can even provide pics if needed. They are deffinately worth the money though.

They won't work. As you have stated, these straps go through 2 openings on the pedal. Go to your local bike shop to pick some new pedals up! These straps are worth it!

I would go with Pure Fix pedals or possibly Origin8 pedals. These straps are nice and heavy duty and would work best with a wide print pedal. I used them on a fairly small pedal and had to get a little creative... but they work great and made my fixie ten times easier to ride! Pure Fix rocks!

I haven't had any issues with my sneakers sticking. My only issue so far is that it gets quite slippery for floor work if my hands are even a little sweaty (ie, push-ups, down dog, etc)

I have not used the clips on shoes, nor the pedals. I am very insecure about having my feet strapped or clipped to the pedals. So I am going say, "Yes, give it a try."

They are very small in diameter.make sure you measure them that they will fit your whole pedals .they are about 1/4" thick.

I own 3 bikes: Brompton, Surly, CETMA. 2 of them are handmade. I do all the wrenching on them. I've tried these pedals on the CETMA. The bearings wore out in a few months. Doesn't matter how much they weigh. They suck. Spend your money on some MKS pedals, instead.

I bought these pedals and the first thing I did was to take the bearings out and add grease. When I first got them one of the pedals was tight and made noise. Adding grease seemed to help. Hope this helps.

I think so, Marc. I think I would have been frustrated and therefore remember if they hadn't. These are just for foot positioning on the pedals BTW. There's no opportunity to actually pull up on the pedals. I use them on a recumbent to ensure my feet don't slide off the pedals. They're great for that purpose.

If the clutch pedal is next to the brake shouldn't be a problem, because the driver's side tray is curved lower to fit under the pedals. The passenger side fits higher up.

Great pedals, but the screws that come with them are very short. I would recommend buying longer screws. They look great in my 03!

You don't need shoe clips with these pedals. They are set up to use with regular shoes, though a narrow profile cycling shoe will get you into and out of the straps easier. If you have lock in type shoes, you probably want a "clipless" pedal
