Pedal suggestions for Carbon bike

[steveindenmark]

I took the plunge yesterday and bought a full Carbon, full Ultegra, Di2 Koga solacio road bike to be used as a quick commuter and light tourer.

I want a set of pedals with SPD on one side and flats on the other. But dont want to make it look too chunky. Has anyone got any suggestions?

Maybe something like this?

These work well on my Carbon bike. But they don't have a flat side

These work on my Hybrid

They are not at all chunky.

I think they're the best your going to get.

Pedals like that are inherently chunky. If you don't want a 'chunky' look - don't buy that type of pedal.

I know what you mean. But I always put comfort and practicalities before aesthetics. Its a bit like putting fluffy dice on a Ferrari but I can live with it.

Can you get a flat insert for clipless?

What do you mean this time of the year?

Do you seriously think that bike is going out before the summer? :=)

I've got some similar to the ones you put in the OP and they're pretty slim actually.

The bike is going to be used for touring and so I have MTB shoes that I can walk around in. That has a bearing on which pedals I can have.
