mini toe clips

fastdogs, maybe the store you purchased them from would install them for you?

I'm hoping mine come in the mail today.

good idea- I think I'll take them in with my bike for it's first free tune up and have the shop where I bought it install them, if it's possible. The store where I bought the toe clips is a small shop specializing in recumbents, and from overhearing conversations they are NOT fond of anything trek. My bike is a gary fisher.

I'm not too sure what I think about the mini clips.

On the plus side -- and it's a very big plus -- they're super easy to get your foot into. My pedals don't have the little tabs that pedals used to have that made it easy to flip the pedal right-side-up and slide your foot in. With the mini clips, it is effortless to flip the pedal into position, even without those tabs.

On the negative side -- and this is a big one, too -- they smoosh my toes! They gap is so narrow that I kind of have to jam my shoe in there. That's good for holding my feet in position, but it's really uncomfortable on my big toes. And if it's hard for me to jam my running shoe in there, I guarantee my chunky ol' Keens aren't going to fit.

I might give 'em one more day of riding before I make a final decision.
