I just put these on my bike last night and did my first 16 miles this morning. Felt pretty good and are longer than my old Shimano DX platforms, but a little narrower.



Much lighter than they look and quite grippy so far.

I have them on my single-speed. I like them, but there's nothing earth-shattering about them either.

I love them. I have them on my everyday townie and think they are the best pedal I have used in forty years.


When I wear street shoes the heel locks my foot in perfect position almost as well as a toe clip.

I've got a pair of those on my "bebop" bike; they're not bad, nothing great about them either. The spikes that you can get from Rivendell make a big difference in traction. Not that the traction is poor to start.

I've got a couple of pairs, I like em, but they're a bit narrow. I just got a pair of ergon pc2s which I think are awesome.
