Pedal Choice
 

Ive been building up a Planet X Track bike frame to be a TT style bike. Ive been using a mix of track components and more road oriented stuff. I absolutely hate clip less pedals, they just aren't practical/comfortable for me. Ive been thinking about the MKS Sylvan pedals but i heard that they are a little small and I have pretty big feet so that might be an issue. Does the bike forums community have any suggestions? Thanks.

I think the mks gr-10s are for wider feet? Those might work. A TT bike that doesn't have clipless seems absurd to me, you are already sacrificing comfort for aero positioning, why not just add some 3 bolt on there and get power on your upswing?

Buy two Kilo TTs and use them as pedals.

This should help ya:

Curious…..not practical in what way? Is it because of the shoes you wear for riding?

If you're not using a stiff-soled cycling shoe, these are a good option:

Thanks everyone so much for your suggestions. I know it doesn't make any sense but ill find that out for myself when I start riding the build. I think I'm going for MKS Sylvan Tour, it has the looks and dimensions (other than length) of the sylvan but room for my feet.

You're riding a Planet X around on the street?


Wow much tarck

Does this forum have a Like button?

Clipess pedals aren't practical but a Planet X frame built up with TT parts for the street is. We have enter'd the twilight zone.

^ Lolz. Very true.

Get yourself a pair of MKS Sylvans or GR-10's along with some descent cages / straps and call it a day. They are wide enough for my fat feet!

btw, these are great pedals

They work very well on my bike. With my old feet, I need the Urbans, but the GR-9s and GR-10s are also very good pedals for those of you with more modest extremities.
