Now that I had the chance to build up my own Crust Evasion Lite, it was time to try these bad boys.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been using these pedals for a few gravel rides and my daily commute, and all I can say is that people weren&#8217;t joking about how grippy these things are! It almost feels like you&#8217;re wearing SPD shoes&#8230;well, that&#8217;s a bit\u00a0exaggerated, but you get the idea.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re also great with sneakers, and you could even use pedal straps too.
