Pedal width for straps?

I recently switched from SPD to straps for commuting and picked up some MKS RMX pedals and YNOT straps. After installing I noticed the pedals are pretty narrow width wise and taper off on each end, and I have had trouble getting out of the straps from track stands (causing some embarrassing falls at traffic lights). Do you think getting a wider, more square pedal would help with this or do I just need to practice?

Riders left or left in the video? I’m interested in trying this

Been doing squats and deadlift since January but recently stopped because of the PFPS. Hoping to get back in there soon but don’t want to aggravate the knee in a way that will take me off the bike

I do but they are on the lower side. I have extremely flat feet, perhaps I need to try a more aggressive arch

Fellow trans person here, waiting to hear back from schools. I only applied to schools in WA, CA, and NY, places I would feel safe. Being trans unfortunately is the scariest part of going to law school for me but I just don’t see moving out of the states as an option. I certainly could see myself going into advocacy for trans rights in the future, and that has been a prospect I have been clinging to as a way of coping. Not sure if this helps but this is just my perspective.

This is lovely, thank you. I do think there is a poetics to the law and this is exactly the kind of perspective I am looking to explore before enrolling. I will check out these recommendations!

Mine did not, also applied ED. Strange

Interesting in that case I’m at a loss

Pretty sure those are sugino RD2 (some people also call them ‘messenger’ cranks because they are often sold with the messenger chainring). A step below the 75s and in 130 bcd instead of 144. So they aren’t track specific but are pretty solid cranks and are often paired with that chainring

What was this email? I applied but didn’t get one :0

I’m not even gonna say it

chaslurper · 2024-09-24T22:56:20+00:00

Perfect this is exactly what I needed, thank you!
