Flat Touring pedals

Page may contain affiliate links. Please see terms for details.
I am looking for decent touring pedals. I have used Sylvan pedals from Spa but despite greasing they have developed a repetitive click when riding but not when coasting . I did use heavy duty DMR MTB pedals which I liked but thought, mistakenly in hindsight, they were too heavy. So do I get a fresh pair or can others suggest decent, pedals ie. not the cheap as chips versions? Suggestions and sources welcomed.

I've just moved to Shimano PD-EF202 pedals in a fetching shade of blue. My feet prefer them to DMR V8s.

How can a touring pedal be too heavy? You wont even be able to tell the difference?
Get a pair of composite MTB pedals they will be lighter than aluminium ones and cheaper.https://winstanleysbikes.co.uk/dmr-v11-pedals?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhY_HvY7BhQMVOJJQBh0RUwf_EAQYAiABEgKUm_D_BwE#172=2356.
I have these and they are great.

I like the fact that you give us extra clues to help us understand the problem but this one brings me no closer to guessing the cause of the click.

Dont use it when you take your car to the garage. "The engine makes a funny noise, but not when switched off."

Thanks for the advice. The Sylvan pedals have been greased and click continues. Bearings seemed okay. Swapped out temporarily for a pair of Sylvan road pedals (single sided) but the resin DMRs are next up for purchase.

FWIW I've used Sylvan Touring pedal for years on several bikes, and from time-to-time one or other of them has developed a click when pedalling. Re-greasing the bearings has always fixed it for me (touch wood).

I run the nylon DMR V6 pedals on my tourer, which I deem fine for dryish road tours, they're non serviceable but you can gain access to the outer set of bearings and squeeze a bit of grease in there if you're worried about it. I switched over to nylon after whacking myself in the shin with the alloy DMR V 12s
