I was just wondering if anyone has any old pedals or straps they would be willing to sell at the meet up spot for RIDE WITH NO NAME tomorrow. if so let a brotha know

these are old in the sense that i bought them a few months ago and decided that clipless was better. im selling them for $150. brand new the whole setup would be $180+tax.
black mks sylvans
black mks fit-a doubles
mks toe clips
and grey yanco veloblinds.
its a legit setup, and it feels like a vagina for your feet, or whatever the cool kids are saying these days. but ive got a size 16 shoe and my feet just cant handle pedals like this.

Dude, you ought to be able to find some basic MTB toeclips/straps for $15-25 at one of the local shops.

They may not be vaginas for your feet, but they'll work just fine.
L.A. Bicycles down on Hoover near USC usually has some good deals on stuff as well.

Actually, wellgo's the largest pedal company in the world, so you save $ by buying straight from them and cutting out all the middlemen.
Yes, if you're road racing, they're probably not the first choice, but if you're looking for a set of reasonably solid, reasonably durable, affordable pedals, they're not a bad choice.
There are a world of options before you need to spend $150 on a pair of pedals and some toe clips and straps.
Especially given that you can buy brand new MKS Sylvan pedals for $23 a pair,

MKS Toe clips for $12.

And a pair of toe straps for $4.00.
http://www.fullcycles.com/product_info.php/products_id/23632
That comes out to about $40 all told.
But I guess he could always fork out another $110 on top of that to buy some used MKS Sylvan pedals and some nicer toe straps.
It's good to have options.

"also, is what im selling nylon? not it is not. once again, you are out of your element."
Nylon is plenty strong, and given that a good portion of this board is vegan, they might prefer something non-leather.
But leather toe straps can be cheap too, here's a set for $4.99.

Or double leather straps for $15.99
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002IS65X8
brand new MKS Sylvan pedals for $23 a pair,
http://www.treefortbikes.com/114_333222346017__Sylvan-Track-Pedal-Silver.html
MKS Toe clips for $12.
http://www.outsideoutfitters.com/p-2168-mks-super-toe-clips-steel.aspx
That STILL comes out to about $40 all told. Or $56 if you want the double leather toe straps.
How much did you pay for those pedals, by the way?
Did you even pay the $150 you're trying to sell them used for?
I may be out of my element, but I'm not the one trying to sell a set of pedals for $150 because I overpaid for toe straps.

have you ever used cheap leather straps? they're useless. you're better off with duct tape.

all you do is post links to things on this site that are shitty knockoffs of the real thing. you post about the kilo tt a lot. yeah, its a good bike. but how come you never tell people to take the bike to a shop once they get it to get the lockring tightened? chances are they arent shelling out the extra $50 for the front brake. and even if they did, stripping a hub while riding is a scary feeling. yeah, youre saving money, but when those parts fail, youre putting your life on the line. the old adage goes something like "buy nice or buy twice".

mks doubles (with njs stamps, so you know they are worth the money and wont rip and fray, unlike shitty nylon straps) $115

here are some clips $15
http://orange20bikes.com/bikeshop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=52332
here are some veloblinds. $15
if you do the math, its $180.

I'm not a big live record guy, but I work with a dude who's a Joy Division MANIAC. I'll tell him $20 a piece and see if he bites.
