much to my disgust; for something that seemingly was suppossed to be so easy to install, due to there being absolutely no instructions (or picture guides), i am forced to take my bike to a shop 10 miles away in order for them to install them? i feel like an idiot? i have a degree in architecture, and 25 years experience in civil engineering ! per an earlier review, my reflectors will also need to be slid out, and then have holes drilled into he pedal. not exactly what i had in mind when i purchased this item? for the most part i’ve been pleased with my pacific gray bicycle, but have experienced on many occassions “shifting-of-gears” without my doing so? this too can be slightly dangerous. however; the color combo of blue and gold are exceptional! additionally; i have bolted on a tire pump. . . a water bottle. . . a combo headlight/flasher. . . small back carrier bag. . . and a considerably more comfy schwinn bicycle seat. thank you, and i hope i have been of some help? steelersteve

I’m a newbie to competitive cycling. Seeking an alternative to clip-in shoes, I bought these. Didn’t fit my bike! I thought these things were universal fit, but apparently not. Product description did not warn of such thing, and does not have any sort of measurement chart to see if it fits your bike. No instructions. Very disappointed because they look like a good product but can’t use it!

These might be easy to install – if you have the right pedals. If your pedals have reflectors both front and back – and no pair of drill holes front or back – you won’t be able to install them. I have three bikes – all various sizes of kids mountain bikes, including a 24/26 in one – and they all have the same dual reflector pedals.

The toe of my workboots wouldn’t fit into the straps. I ended up buying “Power Grips” straps so I could ride to work in winter with heavy warm boots.

i couldn’t decide between 3 and 4 stars. First off. the screws provided were too small for my bike and i had to uses the screws off of my old pedal reflectors (glad i saved them). i don’t know if they intended me to do that but what ever.
it is sometimes hard to get your foot in, but there is a bit of a learning curve. if you are riding in city traffic and have to make frequent starts and stops, you might miss the clip all together.
also, they dont balance well and you have to turn the pedal over to face them up.
They might be a bit small for riders with bigger shoes, and i wouldn’t recommend using shoes that could scuff from the plastic.
the plastice itself seems pretty sturdy, but id guess after some repetition of cold nights and hot days in the sun, the material will wear down and break.
the bottom line, is they work well to allow me to use my ham stings to help pedal. i would recommend this to avid riders and commuters.
its inexpensive, so dont expect much in terms of functionality overall.
