    Hey Jones,
    I just installed PowerGrips on my commuter bike and took them for a test ride yesterday. I rode 10 miles "before" and 10 miles "after". I'm not sure I've got them to where I like them yet (I've adjusted them twice so far) but certainly notice an increase in efficiency with them on. I have to start/stop a lot when I run errands and/or commute to work and think I'm going to be really happy with them. My husband (big feet, small toe clips) has pedal envy and I think I'll be ordering a pair of XL's for him soon.
    Does this bike make my *ss look big?

     I use white lithium grease, which comes in a toothpaste-like tube.
    Thanks for the reply, that is what I used. My DH had some in the garage, grease is something I usually try to avoid, not look for and I really don't like anything goopy on my hands.
    The PowerGrips I like,but not nearly as much as I like clipless. If I didn't have to change shoes at work I would of gone that route. In saying that though my ride to work is short (1.5 miles) and hot (110, yes, that hot) so I move real slow. When it cools and I start to pedal again I may find I really like them.
    Jones
