I wondered if there were people like me in the world (rides significant distances in platform pedals).....although I like my MTB pedals and haven't used BMX pedals.
I'm ecstatic I am not alone!!!!!
I am considering replacing my platforms with a different brand. I have a set of Forte from Performance (I think it was SuperGo when I got them) the cage is trapezoidal or parallelogram in shape so the spindle sticks up and doesn't provide the best of grip. Anyone with a suggestion?
