track pedals
 

im buying a new track bike in a couple of months and am researching parts. im wondering about pedals. some strong lightweight pedals with good bearings. i dont want clipless and no MKS stuff. thanks.

If you've got the moola and want the best for urban / street riding, then get these suckas >>> http://www.benscycle.net/index.php?m...oducts_id=8356

Oh, and they're a lot cheaper here >>> http://www.universalcycles.com/shopp...s.php?id=31102

What's wrong with MKS? I'd say GR-9s personally, never used them, but a lot of people seem to like them.

NOS campy or duracci

I feel like he forgot to edit his post and say he has a $30 budget

Hey guys, should I make bass or halibut for dinner today?

I ride for the halibut

Yup, halibut sounds good to me.

Wellgo RO-25B FTW. Sealed bearings, small size and much more comfortable than Sylvans.

Cool, halibut it is! :D

don't forget to buy some good straps!

Haha oh god people on these forums are hilarious. I think I'll go with the White Industries because i like to buy the most expensive things lol. And I'll definitely be buying Hold Fast straps duhhh.

I'll be honest, I have no idea what the **** you want.

You want them to be track pedals, but not clipless or MKS. People ride clipless on the track. The only other 'track' pedal is something like a Sylvan, but that's MKS. I guess you want All City or Wellgo? Why not MKS? If it's because of look, you're not getting a track pedal that doesn't look like something MKS makes.

His not worth your/ our time.

Just let him have his white industries & hold fast combo.

wow I wish I had $200, those WI pedals look comfortable

I have mks sylvan on my other bike and want something a little different. and im scared of clipless pedals.

Also, I don't think hold fasts play nicely with those WI's.

Also, what's your deal with MKS if you already ride them? If it's a comfort issue, I get it, but if you don't really notice it that much now, then I'm confused. I mean I get component-lust just as much as the next guy, but I'm constantly blown away by how many people insist on fixing things that aren't even broken.

I doubt OP has even tried GR9s and is already discounting MKS.

Scared of clipless?

Pshh once I tried them I'll never go back.

Clipless is Soo much better

Why do you recommend these over Gr-9s?

edit: oh OP is being dumb.

That being clarified, do you still prefer the wellgos to Gr-9s?

haven't you heard? scrod is a weight weenie now and the wellgo's are 60grams lighter! :lol:

I like the Wellgos over GR-9s because I found that my size 12 feet would hang over the outer edge of GR-9s and create a weird hot spot on my foot on long rides and my pinky toe would become numb and/or throb. Despite the RO-25Bs looking so small, I've had no issues with them at all and sealed cartridge bearings are a definite plus.

I have made a mental note of this for future pedal upgrade reference. I wear 11.5 but my feet are wide, so I probably will have the same problem with the GR-9's
