or (https://www.amazon.ca/Mongoose-Mount...gateway&sr=8-5)

Both are 9/16"x 1/2"

The ones that came stock on my bike are narrower, something along the lines of:

I don't really care that they're plastic vs metal, I'd assume the nylon is probably stronger and won't bend anyway. Just honestly looking for a cheap fix to widen my pedal, I like those Mongoose ones because they have reflectors on them still.

Do expensive pedals really make a difference?

"Rock Bros" appears to be a pretty shady company when it comes to intellectual property; many people have noticed the similarity to the popular RaceFace Chester. I'd avoid their products personally.

VP and Wellgo make most of these pedals for companies like RaceFace; you can look at their products for lower markup. MSW is QBP's brand and they offer some pedals at good prices at your LBS.

These are made by VP and offer a low height, which I like. I might object to Grant Peterson's style, but he consistently has proven himself when it comes to component picks.
