Thanks for the information! We are thinking about getting a pair of Wellgo M138 pedals.



Body : Magnesium
Spindle : Chromoly spindle, CNC Machined.
Bearing: Sealed / DU
Size : 9/16"
Dimensions : 102mm x 68mm x 29mm
Weight : 238 g (pair)
Cost: $39 on eBay, including shipping from Taiwan
The pedals have the same shape on both sides.

We have ridden with platform pedals and no toe clips for several years with no issues, and we are pretty enthusiastic riders. I call out shifts and bumps, and I start and stop pedaling gradually. Maybe that's how we get away with it.

My wife likes to put her feet on the ground when we stop. I know that is not the normal technique for tandem teams, but that's what she likes.

I only found one set of reviews for the Wellgo M138 pedals. The reviews were on ChainReactionCycles.com, and they were favorable.

I am a little concerned that each pedal apparently has one sealed bearing and one "DU" bearing. That is apparently a teflon-impregnated metal bushing. Should I worry about this?

Thanks again!
