The pedals are Canfield Brothers Crampon Ultimates. I have Spank Spikes on my other mountain bike and like them a lot, but I wanted to do purple bits on this bike, and these were the highest rated/skinniest/lightest purple ones I could fine. I've tried SPD pedals, but I find myself hiking a bike more because I can't get clipped in fast enough before the technical descent or put my foot down while climbing and then can't get clipped in fast enough, so have to end up hiking. Both these and the Spank Spikes do a good job keeping with your foot on the backstroke, so I don't really notice any loss of power. Plus, mountain biking is less about being fast and more about doing stupid **** with your buds and drinking beer on top of a mountain.
Canfield Brothers Crampon Ultimate Pedals. Thinnest platforms on the market.
