For storage and carriage reasons I use folding platform pedals.
I've had a few branded but cheap pairs, and none last long.
One or other bearings develop a lot of play making me reluctant to rely on that pedal.
My latest attempt to buy something with a bit more quality is the VP pedals in the link.
I got a bit of a shock when they arrived when I discovered there are no flats on the thread.
Installation is via a 6mm allen recess in the end of the thread.
I suppose that's more common on roadie pedals, no reason to think it doesn't work well.
The pedals themselves appear to be better made than my previous ones.
They nip up close the cranks, which means they won't spin all the way around when folded - can't see that matters.
Only time will tell if they are going to last.
