Caged stirrups

[Jenko109]

Any recommendations?

I will be riding in trainers a lot so need caged stirrups really.

Have never had caged ones before and not sure where to start!

I have a pair of barefoot stirrups with cages and I didn't get on with them. The cage is soft and easily deformed, mine arrived all bent inwards and no manner of moulding has out them right. This isn't a huge issue but doesn't make them that comfortable or easy to use.

Raddery FlexRides (might be FlexiRides) or Podiums.

Loved mine just mind your toes when you jump off in trainers!

You can get Velcro or clip on toe cages as well so useful if you ever decided to go to an event that needed simple irons

I'd be v.careful with clip on cages if riding in trainers personally.

I've only used Velcro on ones so not sure what the clip ons are like. Do they tend to come off? I just thought it would be cheaper than whole new irons

Depending on how much you want to spend, I use Podium stirrups for endurance, there are quite a few other brands but mainly based over in Europe

EZ are the best but hard to get a hold of now. I would stay away from the aluminum ones as there is very little comfort.

Shires do cages that screw on to ordinary stirrups. I find them secure, comfortable and very lightweight.

Urgh same, always bending inwards and the top straps sliding down the sides. No amount of remoulding even with hot water fixed the issue, they just reverted to being innies instead of outies!

I used these for a long time, the Shires Matrix stirrup cages, did the job quite nicely.

I also tried the Amidale endurance style caged stirrups, didn't get on with them myself, found them to be too clunky and cumbersome and they make my ankles hurt.

Raddery FlexRides (might be FlexiRides) or Podiums.

I've used FlexRides for years. I love mine.
They are lightweight and I have no pain anymore as I had constant pain in one ankle with normal stirrups.

I got some hard plastic cages that fit onto standard stirrups, they do the job, but are bulky and heavy

I think I've ridden in this kind of stirrup two or three times, and I really didn't find it any different to a normal stirrup.

There's a lot of choice over here, you can get them in plastic or aluminium, and pay anything between €50 and €200 a pair.

Here are three that I found in as many minutes.

Stirrups closed with light, comfortable and reassuring hulls

The Gaston Mercier hocks support the support, the venous return and the support of the arch and push back the notion of fatigue.

The RDA groups I was with used Daps on ordinary stirrups.

Waldhausen make some cages too, I need to look closely at them, I think they're screw on.
