Mirage Drive 360: Looking for ideas on a heal strap for the mirage drive pedals. I have severe neuropathy in both feet caused by ms. I can pedal all day, but cannot feel my feet and they constantly slip off the pedals. Looking for something to support my heal, kind of like the strap that goes across your feet. Even considering something like a clipless bike pedal, and bike shoes, but I have never seen anyone mount a bike pedal on a mirage drive. Any suggestions? Anyone know the thread size of the new 360 drives pedals?

There is an old post somewhere on here about rigging up a heel strap/sling. The early V1 drives with the solid pedal cranks used to have screw in pedal attachments that could be swapped out for bike pedals. You would have to take into account corrosion resistance of any replacement pedals.

Great find. I ordered some heel pegs that are used with rowing machines that i am going to try first. Though this looks pretty pretty great.
