I’ve always liked my VP Thin Gripsters (vp-001). They are solid platforms with nice pins that hold well but not too aggressively. Recently, I needed pedals for an mtb but didn’t want to break the bank. I bought some Race Face Chester pedals. At first I was hesitant about the plastic construction but I’ve been very impressed. The platforms are sturdy without being too heavy. The pins really hold when I’m on trails. Nice pedals.
