View Full Version : Pedal Platform Adapter Recommendation

Hello All:
I am currently involved in a clinical study which involves a cycling rehab protocol. We are using Garmin Vector Pedal based power meters to help the patients improve symmetry in their left/right power balance.
We have been using a rather small pedal platform adapter to allow the patients to use their regular shoes. See the one we use here (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073PYRF15/).
Some of the patients are having trouble keeping their feet on the pedals (these are NOT cyclists!).
So I want to find another platform adapter that is larger and that has a vertical lip on the front so I can mount a toe clip (the kind without a strap).
Can any of you recommend such a platform adapter? Can't find what I want on Amazon. Might have to make my own starting with large aluminum angle but would rather purchase something that's ready-made.
Thanks in advance,
Jim

I've never seen an adapter like you're describing (clipless to actual toeclip)

I would say use what you have, the 'pins' appear in the photo to be threaded. So, remove some of the front pins and use that as a mounting point for toe clips?

Thanks, that's a creative idea. Would have to screw on some sort of right angle bit to mount the toe clip.
Hopefully I can find an off the shelf option.
Cheers,
Jim

I recall seeing a clipless -> clip adapter for Look cleats made by Exustar. It was not a large platform - just large enough to mount a toe clip on the front and a Look clear underneath. Might be adaptable to Garmin cleat?

Will search to see if I can find and will add link.

Edit: not exactly what I described above, but if Keo cleat fits Vector pedal this may work. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F36 2116631640
