What do you look for in a pedal?

I'll ask everyone to forgive me as I have been drinking at SE beers but- you are not a cyclist unless you use either clips or clipless pedals.
Unless you are that Scottish chap etc.

I used to think the same but I know some people who would disagree with you..

I had those MKS pedals for a while I thought they were great. Real small if you're worried about pedal strike.

Thing about them is they're one-sided, so you need to learn the knack of getting them the right way round.

Clipless FTW.

But if you don't want that shit I'd go for these:

With clips and straps these are by far the most comfy pedals I have ridden. And I've ridden alot - before I went clipless that is. £23 at BLB.

I was told BMX ones can be too large and can catch on the ground when youre going around corners or something.
( I was looking at bmxs ones myself..)

I so don't corner that quick or low.

are you fixed or singlespeed? If you're fixed and not running a rear brake then you should be connected to your pedals somehow, with clips or straps - otherwise just find a flat pedal that isn't too sharp edged. like a BMX one or something

Are these Abike Co Hamilton Pedals Unsealed?

Same here!

is it happening when you try to get the pedals at the right position before moving off at lights etc?

No - more when I've got to carry the bloody thing up stairs and stuff. I'm assuming I'm just a clutz.

Don't worry about that, it's only a concern if you ride fixed and therefore can't lean too far into corners, everyone else freewheels around such bends with outer pedal low.

Did you win?

What on my hybrid? Ha ha ha. I finished in the top 5th though which given my perchance for drink and the occasionaly (regular) fag; thats not half bad. If I'd got some carbon fiber on board yes, I would have won.

Know the feeling...

Well that's pretty cool, especially if you do the riding section without foot retention. If your banging your legs when you're carrying it upstairs, there's not many pedals which won't hurt a bit, other thn those shite ones which come as standard on low-end bikes. Can you put the bike over your shoulder ?

I don't even know what that is except for something made from carbon fiber. I like it though. Its shinny.

Bottle cage.

Bottle holder. For Hippy's polish alcohol
Edit - too late.

You'd enjoy the carbon thread then.

Yeah defs.... its way lighter than my old bike and goes onto shoulder with ease. Its more like awkward stairwells and hallways and stuff where I do myself harm. These things are just stupidly sharp.

Bottle cage.

Oh I thought that... but couldn't even buy one of those for my race as my bike don't have those holes the screws go into....

yup

I can fix that.

I can fix that.

Where were you last month?

I've been working alot.

At least you don't look set for redundancy anytime soon.

i look for speedplay zero on the box for road pedals and time atac for mountain bike shoes

yup

Have these on my touring bike with powergrips(going over to gurneys when mine get made) Spin really smooth and the seals seem pretty good. Will last plenty long enough but they may shed grub screws over the years.
nice and comfy, I've always ridden bmx platforms(not on fixed tho) and the hamiltons are rad.
I DO however smash them into the ground every time I pedal hard through a corner which I really need to stop doing. That said they're holding up just fine and not shinned myself with them since getting the straps.

Swap your speed plays for my time rxs ulteams.
