Pedals...

[Cuchilo]

I do understand why you would not want to clip in . Sometimes I just want to go out on my good bike without bothering to wear all the gear and riding clipless with normal shoes does hurt the feet after a while .
BUT
You will feel the benefit from them , especially on Giants flag ship aero bike !

Wellgo LU868 and Vavert Commuter/leisure are both nice flat pedals.

i am looking for the best pedals for my bike...

i do NOT want clip in or spd just normal lightweight pedals

I'm wondering how long you'll have this one before it's advertised in the classifieds... Putting flats on a 4 figure road bike speaks volumes IMO. Ever thought of taking up something less damaging on your wallet?

He's already said he'll take 3k for it

 

[outlash]

Lol! And next week's bike is what?

 

[vickster]

Balance bike? No risk of clipless moments then

lol, it's have to be made of titanium or something similar to be the best balance bike. I'm actually doubting the OP actually rides any of these bikes...

It's going to be the old argument again -
Carbon or Titanium

I'm about comfort over fashion. I'm surprised you didn't pick the Vaverts, which I think are uglier.

Anyway, reflectors are a legal requirement in the UK if you ride after dark.

As outlast above, we're not actually sure the OP rides these bikes at any time of day!

That old chestnut - it's not fashion - 1868 first primitive toeclip, 1884 pedal with rubber tread, 1895 Charles Hanson of Peace Dale, Rhode Island invents first clipless pedal. (Twist to lock and unlock. Has rotational float.)
- so from the earliest days of the bicycle riders have sought a means of keeping their feet firmly attached to the pedals.

Big thanks managed to get some big ass welgo pedals they feel really good

 

[swiftylee]

Who knows what bike next. When you get as much discount as i do its not really an issue

Came across these VP pedals when looking for flat pedals that might just conceivably be appropriate for that bike - I think they're pretty

- titanium, so not much weight penalty, and only $500.
