It resembles the Beezer toeclip covers which were available up until about six years ago. I'd definitely be more interested in something that provided full coverage on the front and sides.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-1147983786224603292006-05-18T16:23:00.000-04:002006-05-18T16:23:00.000-04:00Chris,I think the new toe cover is cool!! you shou...Chris,<BR/>I think the new toe cover is cool!! you should make it. I have a Rebour drawing of the cover's back side somewhere, will dig up and send to you. Also I have the Paturaud toe covers, can send you for pattern if you decide to make them.Somewhere on the fixedgear gallery is a pic of my Rivie with the Paturauds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-1147841651122019202006-05-17T00:54:00.000-04:002006-05-17T00:54:00.000-04:00I don't think these would seriously protect your t...I don't think these would seriously protect your toes from the cold. I mean, there's just no way! Anyone who has ever trained in cold rainy weather will know of what I speak. At best, maybe they will keep your middle toe .01 degree Fahrenheit warmer!<BR/><BR/>I think the reason they stopped selling these was, they just aren't that useful. Just the regular toe clip leathers suffice dandily to keep one's shoes un-scuffed, I reckon. <BR/><BR/>(You have it right, the way the originals worked was they just slipped inside the front of the toe clip, and are held on the sides.)<BR/><BR/>Just my $.02. Keep up the good work @ V-O!

I'm not sure how the originals worked, but the toe strap shoud keep them from sliding up if they were a little taller than in the photo.<BR/><BR/>I guess you vote for no holes?<BR/><BR/>ChrisVelo Orangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835615331417822722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-1147804230137779492006-05-16T14:30:00.000-04:002006-05-16T14:30:00.000-04:00Does the wide leather toe clip cover just slip ove...Does the wide leather toe clip cover just slip over the metal part? Can you leave your other leather covers in place? These look like the ticket for cold weather. On cold, rainy rides I have a hard time keeping my big toes warm and this would have to help.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00267394210839473090noreply@blogger.com
