My Ruby Sport Compact arrived - hooray!!

I wouldn't worry about it, but my feet have slipped off everytime I've ridden so far. It feels really clumsy. I'm considering just getting partial cages (or whatever they are called) just to keep my foot from sliding off. It happens after I stop on the side of the trail and step in the fine dirt.

Ah, slippery flats. The flats that came with my road bike had teeth, but every bike I've tested has had those slippery ones and they drive me nuts.

You could get cages, provided that the body of the pedal is metal. Or you could get PowerGrips (I think that's what they're called), or a set of BMX pedals (but watch out for your shins!), or metal flats that will let you add cages.

Thanks, Owlie. My pedals are plastic. I was wondering if I'd have to change them, thanks for clarifying.
