    Where's the cheapest/best place to get straps like Hold Fast, Polip straps? I know CRC do Power Straps but I want something a bit chunkier.

    I'd say not to bother with 'em! Have tried them in the past, and toe cages/straps are infinitely better -the problem is that there's noting keeping them "up" so it can be a right pain to slip your foot into them, particularly if you stand on em at any point.

    If you still want 'em though, I'd go through theirwebsite

    I had cages on my single speed and they were fine, but now on fixed and finding it very frustrating trying to slip into them, thought it might be easier with the velcro jobbies?

    I found it a lot harder -so much so that I gave up after a couple of days, and went back to cages... obviously, ymmv and there are a fair few people out there who use them, but they aren't for me!

    Maybe proper cages would be better instead of the cheapo things that came with the bike
