There are some cheap beartrap pedals available that I have come to love. They are made by VP (google VP beartrap pedals). The bearings come set too tight (IMO). A little futzing with the adjustment and they work beautifully. You can get them for less than 20 bucks. I have 3 sets and I really like them.
