Soo... Let's talk pedals.
I am ususally a spd guy on all of my bikes but this is supposed to be a bike I can just pick up and ride no matter the shoes or clothes etc.
I had some MKS track pedals in my parts box. Visually they are great but without cages it's annoying that they are single sided. A bit more grip and real estate also wouldn't hurt.
So I am looking at flat pedals. My beef with most flat pedals is their enormous size and weight. Ideally I would like something with an area of 90x90 - 95x95 and 360gr maximum (I am used to 200 - 250gr pedals). To match the final build they also need to be some kind of metal and silver (polished).
Staying true to the whole Crust/ Nitto /BlueLug / SimWorks bubble that birthed the idea for this build I feel obliged to mention the latest MKS collaborations of which I like the plain MKS x Crust Godito pedals best. Unfortunatlel they are all around the 400gr mark...
MKS x SimWorks - Bubbly Pedals (392gr):
MKS x Crust - Sylvan Gordito Pedals (430gr):
MKS x BlueLug - XC-III (~400gr):
More modern and lighter options are:
Cube All Mountain Pedals (366gr):
DMR v12 Magnesium (350gr with ti axle upgrade ~ 270gr but not quite silver...):
I used to have these Schindelhauer Urban CNC pedals (300gr) on a fixed gear with straps but I think without straps they don't offer enough grip.
