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. I highly recommend having at least a pair of these pedals.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":124126,"template":"","better_featured_image":{"id":124126,"alt_text":"","caption":"","description":"","media_type":"image","media_details":{"width":1136,"height":758,"file":"2020\/12\/image26-1.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"image26-1-640x427.jpg","width":640,"height":427,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":39769,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image26-1-640x427.jpg"},"medium":{"file":"image26-1-900x601.jpg","width":900,"height":601,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":67439,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image26-1-900x601.jpg"},"post-thumbnail":{"file":"image26-1-800x600.jpg","width":800,"height":600,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":60374,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image26-1-800x600.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]},"filesize":536733},"post":124124,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image26-1.jpg"},"acf":{"not_to_displayed_on_top":null,"ctm-post-priority":null},"post-meta-fields":{"_edit_lock":["1641538257:41"],"_edit_last":["41"],"_my_meta_value_key":["[{\"pid\":33730,\"name\":\"*MKS* XC-III bear trap pedal (white)\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/mks-xc-iii-bear-trap-pedal-white.html\",\"src\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/58380b5adbf00c5b2741afb4fc1b2f76\/0\/5\/050110.jpeg\"},{\"pid\":34400,\"name\":\"*MKS* XC-III bear trap pedal (titanium)\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/mks-xc-iii-bear-trap-pedal-titanium.html\",\"src\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/58380b5adbf00c5b2741afb4fc1b2f76\/m\/r\/mrtymtyertyh.jpg\"},{\"pid\":31498,\"name\":\"*MKS* XC-III bear trap pedal (silver)\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/mks-xc-iii-bear-trap-pedal-silver.html\",\"src\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/58380b5adbf00c5b2741afb4fc1b2f76\/1\/i\/1img_9923.jpg\"},{\"pid\":32958,\"name\":\"*MKS* XC-III bear trap pedal (black\/silver)\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/mks-xc-iii-bear-trap-pedal-black-silver.html\",\"src\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/58380b5adbf00c5b2741afb4fc1b2f76\/1\/i\/1img_6687_4.jpg\"},{\"pid\":31497,\"name\":\"*MKS* XC-III bear trap pedal (black)\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/mks-xc-iii-bear-trap-pedal-black.html\",\"src\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/58380b5adbf00c5b2741afb4fc1b2f76\/1\/i\/1img_9925_3.jpg\"}]"],"_thumbnail_id":["124126"],"_wp_old_date":["2021-12-13"]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review-global\/129787"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review-global"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review-global"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124126"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129787"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
