Pedals
 
My old set of platform pedals are starting to go downhill. Can anyone something good, light and well made pedals that I can attach my toe clips to?

MKS makes good classic cage pedals. Otherwise Wellgo is good and cheap and Ergon makes a nice platform designed for flat shoes and no clips.

I buy mine from Rivendell. I spruce them up with Wellgo reflectors.

Another MKS Sylvan Touring fan here. I have them on both my bikes.

MKS makes a really nice pedal for low cost, another option is Wellgo but I think MKS is the better of the two. But before you go out and buy MKS you need to know how you'll be using it. MKS makes several pedals, the Sylvan lite is their lightest offering and gives better cornering clearance than the Sylvan touring pedal, so if these pedals are going on a road bike and not a touring bike (or a bike with higher ground clearance) you may want the Lite version.

Picked up a pair of mks gr-9 pedals from Amazon, put a pair of toe clips on and haven't looked back.
I was having problems with my old pedals, which had those metal traction bits, tearing up the soles of my shoes... The gr-9's are shoe friendly!

I really like the MKS GR-9 as well. I bought a set for myself 10 years ago, repacked the bearings a couple times over the years, and have done probably 90% of my miles on them without problems.

I think I might even buy another set this year!

I do have small, narrow feet though (US 8.5, EUR 41). I can see how these would be a problem with size 15 or something.

Peadles, Pettles, Peddles, Petals, Paddles.... Whew! Got that out of my system. Been reading Craigslist (and here too) too much. Sorry. Ahem.... please excuse me :) Just adding 'keywords'. Yeah, that's my story....
