1/2" or 9/16" platform pedals?
What's going on, everyone? I just got a new road bike, and I don't like the strap on pedals it came with. It's on 07 Raleigh Grand Sport. I am trying to get new pedals, but I'm not sure whether to get them in 1/2" or 9/16"? I'm assuming that is a measurement of bolt size, but I thought I'd ask first.

haha, thanks! I'm sure that would've been easy to find out for myself, but I'm at work and it's busy here

most bmx bikes don't even take 1/2 anymore. that's only ones that come with 1 piece cranks. most of them are coming with three piece cranks these days so they're all taking 9/16". how else would we get clipless pedals on our bikes?
