Leather toe straps are more durable than fabric ones, and stiffer -- less likely to tangle with the toe of the shoe as you put your foot in. Thread a strap starting from the outside of the pedal, with a 360 degree twist under the pedal to keep it from sliding out of position. Do not insert the end of the strap into the slot at the bottom of the buckle. Instead, leave it hanging out like a floppy dog ear. Then you can tighten the strap by pulling on the end, and loosen it by pushing the buckle outward with your thumb. | Leather toe straps are more durable than fabric ones, and stiffer -- less likely to tangle with the toe of the shoe as you put your foot in.

''This correctly-threaded leather toe strap was started from the outside of the pedal; and twisted 360° as it passes through the pedal. The end is loose, to tighten by pulling, or to loosen by pushing outward on the buckle. The toe clip here is mounted outboard of center, to accommodate the cyclist's splay-footedness. This is a rear pedal on a tandem; a bungee cord connects to the front pedal and holds both pedals upright. The knot in the bungee cord shortens it so it holds tension.'' | |||

Most toe clips attach to the front of the pedal with two bolts, and can be placed under a pedal reflector. If your feet toe out, you may want to mount the toe clips farther toward the outside of the pedals than usual. Toe clips are sold in different lengths. It is very important for toe clips to be long enough to avoid strain to the Achilles tendon (at the back of the ankle). The ball of the foot should be over the pedal axle or slightly farther forward. Slightly oversize toe clips place the strap behind the widest part of the shoe, allowing you to pull back lightly at the bottom of the pedal stroke. There is confusion in toe-clip sizing: I've found Japanese ones to be one size smaller than European ones with the same markings (S, M, L, XL). | Most toe clips attach to the front of the pedal with two bolts, and can be placed under a pedal reflector.
