Title: New Pedals
Post by: George3 on January 18, 2021, 05:40:09 PM

For Xmas I received a set of Shimano pedals and given our 70 degree weather all this week I decided to put them on.  The pedals are about the same size in terms of length and width as the stock pedals but it's the spikes that are a bit higher that really keep your shoe in the pedals.  The height of the spikes are adjustable to your liking and you can mix and match as you might want.  A series of provided washers allows you tailor the height.  In the package was also about a dozen extra spikes, I suppose in case they wear out.... not likely in my view unless they get damaged somehow.  The construction appears to be more robust than stock. They say, Chromoly Steel. 

I got them at https://www.universalcycles.com/shopping/product_details.php?id=90916

Shipment was rapid with excellent communication..... and I would highly recommend them.

You'll get plenty of bite with those pins! Also, I'm jealous of your weather... 70 degrees? 😲
I went riding today and it was 34 and snowing, and the girl I was riding with got cold before we made it to our destination.

Yes, the bite is there so no flip flops.... Actually, they are great to have. Feel well planted with no issues and, of course, I am much faster now.....

Am a bit distressed, however, temperature is dropping tomorrow to 58 but I guess winter is on it's way until February, then Spring arrives.

I actually had orange Wellgo pedals like the ones Rad sells before I got my ebike. The quality is iffy and one of them is getting tight. I may just have to invest in better and, dare I say, real pedals that can handle my commute and general riding around. Those you bought are nice.
