I use a couple of "toe clip straps" though I note these are harder to come by these days.

Is this not a case where hiring a bike for a week end makes a lot of sense in sorting out what suits? I think first I would sample the various options bike retailers can come up with as demo bikes to sort out the style bike that interest you. Then if that can't be made available for an extended...

Thanks, Woosh, that risk to the elastomer rings was specifically my area of concern having some knowledge in this field of the issues using the wrong products can bring. The only designation mark I can see on these is FEM362.

Thank you all, I will just keep them clean and spray a silicone lube on them occasionally as suggested. I had naively assumed these things would have some "oil" in them and with that a risk of incompatibility with the seal materials, but it seems not. I had not though of a silicone spray but...
