Non-spikey flat pedals for turbo trainer.

[SpokeyDokey]

Any recommendations for some flat pedals that won't chew up running shoes.

Just taken delivery of a Qubo Power Fluid TTand whilst I am happy to use it with a set of SPD's I'd rather use my running shoes that I wear on the treadmill so that I can swap between one and the other without hassle.

Can't you just clip in those little plastic platforms that come with SPD pedals ...

Or would those chew up your trainers too?

Thanks for that.

I should have said my spare bike will be permanently connected to the trainer so I just need a flat pedal solution for it as I won't be using my SPD equipped best bike on it.

I could buy more SPD's and use those thingy's that I've never seen before and I've had a few sets of SPD pedals over the last few years. Should they come with them? M520's and PD A600's.

You can buy the platforms separately but I'm fairly sure that I got a pair with all the SPD pedals that I bought in the past. Your best bet though if you want some is to ask nicely in the 'Wanted' forum on CC. I gave away a spare set to someone on the forum a while back. I'm sure that will be lots of them languishing in spares boxes in garages/sheds/cellars round the country!

M520s don't come with the platform. And a600 are small metal pedals, they won't chew your shoes but they'll hurt your feet after a while through a trainer sole.

These attach to SPDs if you can't get the Shimano ones

There's not actually many pedals without spikes these days. Something like these

My trainer and riser block arrived from Wiggle today and I didn't realise I'd need pedals until then. Could've ordered them at the same time! Silly old sod that I am.

More Haribo. Though I actually don't like Haribo. They are appreciated by others though.

Most LBS stock a basic pedal

Good point - there was bugger all in either box. I've been done out!

 

[ColinJ]

Oh, and the other thing that many people have in their spares/junk boxes is the cheapo flat plastic platform pedals that many inexpensive bikes come with and therefore ...

Most LBS stock a basic pedal

Some of which will have been taken off bikes sold with upgrades to better pedals. I've bought them in the past for £3-4 a pair.

MKS make some decent everyday flat and cage pedals that are durable and not too pricey.
Will you be using them with toe clips?
