Pedal Strap Update

An update on pedal straps

Our pedal straps were originally an alternative to cages and permanently mounted straps. The original prototypes worked perfectly for us as commuters so we decided to test their function and durability by sending a few pairs to our friends in Richmond.

The boys loved them and gave us the feedback we needed to improve the design. As trick track riders they put our straps to the ultimate test. See for yourself…

So, we’ve shored them up with the following modifications:

• double layer of triple-stitched heavy-weight polypro webbing
• stash spot
• optional recycled billboard closure

And now, we are introducing a Premium line specifically designed to withstand extra abuse.

• added outer layer of 16oz PVC vinyl to protect from pedal drag
• vinyl reinforced straps for extra hold and protection against pedal wear

They remain hardware-free, putting no unnecessary strain on pedals or cranks and come available in an assortment of colors and patterns to match your style. Here’s an unwrapping video courtesy of RVA Fixed for your viewing pleasure…

But our straps are not exclusive to the trick track community. The foot retention they provide has received accolades from riders of all types who use platform pedals to get where they’re going. Check out the following reviews:
