Is it stupid to ask for a platform/SPD combo pedal, and if not, which one would you recommend? I am trying to buy used, so I need a model if possible.
I am totally clueless here, and would love to hear other options if needed
I put these on my mtb when I went from toe clips to clipless. I wanted clipless but felt there might be times when I wanted the platform such as short trip or when in a situation I didn't feel confident being clipped in. On my road bike I went with regular spd (so I can use the same shoes). I didn't think I'd do short rides on it as I have the mtb for that. Decide on how you plan to ride and buy a pedal that meets the need.
