Pedals for road bike (NOT clipless)

[jimboalee]

Hey Steve Austin,

Do they still sell them?

I had them on my Apollo Olympic.

 

[Steve Austin]

Yeh. Bought some from Condor not more than a month ago!

Old technology, but they work fine, grip fine. Look bad so they fit with my commuting bike ethos.

Strapless clips are the bees knees.

Thems are called 'Bear Traps'. I wonder why?

Those are platforms, not bear traps.

Those are platforms, not bear traps.

Actually they are 'rat traps', 'bear traps' were very much more aggressive in the knarlyness department, had almost circular cages and were found on early mountain bikes.

how about some nice MKS pedals?

Hmm - I thought rat-traps were like this with serrated edges:

As you rightly pointed out Beartraps are more aggressive like these:

Those Wellgo's are platforms based on Shimano DX platforms:

Would suit your roadbike better than those red things!!

My pedals have serrated edges like that and I cut my shins to pieces on a recent cycling trip to France with my feet slipping off! Haven't done it for a while though so I've obviously learnt through the pain!

I'll definitely be thinking about going clipless when I get my new bike (wow just worked it out and only 3 months before my current bike is paid off through cycle-to-work! How exciting!)

The 1st pedals on my Sirrus were titanium, going clipless was the best thing I ever done as far as my shins are concerned
