Yeah, they are wide, but comfortable, and there are quite a few that you cold use clips with, the odyessey twisted PC pedals come to mind, and they are light.

He rides a trainer tire?

deathhare 02-16-08 08:39 AM

All the cool kids do. ;)
Ive been running one for awhile. I love it.

dijos 02-16-08 08:49 AM

they're huge and wide, and are probably better for sneaker riding than amy pedals we ride with. Their spindle is a different size, though.

can anyone else list out some other bmx pedals that are compatible?

sp00ki 02-16-08 09:16 AM

Compatible with what? A crank? Straps? HP-UX?

List of reasons why bmx pedals are better:

Well, that was a short list.

bonechilling 02-16-08 09:26 AM

Better than what? Pedals designed for wood-soled shoes and slotted cleats? I can give you a few reasons why BMX platforms are better than those.

ryansexton 02-16-08 09:28 AM

I don't think you have your troll goggles on. I'm just being a jerk, guy.

deathhare 02-16-08 09:28 AM

Seems to me you'd have to totally loosen your straps everytime you wanted out of them because of the spiky spikes on the pedals.

Better than having no traction at all on a regular road/track pedal.

sp00ki 02-16-08 09:38 AM

My road pedals have a lot of traction... What type don't have traction? I'm curious.

:roflmao::beer:

Good one
But just think on those cold ass winter nights you can burn your pedals to keep warm.

Seriously tho' ....clipless makes the most sense for riding in the city (IMHO) due to ease of entry/exit but having said that. Whatever works for a particular person is just fine, if I had a grocery store only fixie I'd probably rock some bmx platforms on it
