Greg,

You forgot to mention JB Weld!! Have you ever seen that stuff? Used by many a redneck car mechanic to keep their hot rod Nova/Chevelle/Camaro/GTO/F-150 on the street. Maybe we should try to build a bike frame w/the stuff? Lay it on real heavy and then file it down, so the frame looks like it was fillet brazed?

Or you could just use some Tubasti to glue the toeclips onto the pedals - that would give you some adjustability once installed. Liquid Nails works too, but no post-installation adjustments are possible. I've never seen a Record pedal with a stripped toeclip attaching thread. Greg Parker Ann Arbor, Michigan
