I have Shimano Saints on my Sam. Also ran them on my Vaya, and currently have some on my old MTB. They're 4"X4", are nice and flat, light-ish, and have the small screws for grip...just enough. They are a little over $50, but in my opinion very worth it. I had the same issue with foot

Most comfortable platform pedal I have ever pedaled is the Canfield Cramp-on Ultimate. The new Mountain version looks good too, but have no first hand experience. The are convex! Not concave. They need some lube now and then, but so far they have held very well on the MTB. Very spendy, but

I use the MKS Grip King or Lambda pedals on my Sam. I added spikes and think the traction as effective as clipless and cleats. I used VP on my Hunq until the bearings decided to fail in the middle of a 10 day tour. I've since replaced them with MKS so I can service them myself. Marc On

+1 for the VP Vice and VP-001s, but I prefer the Vices. The 001's have pins in the center of the pedal, and I like a slightly concave feel. On Tuesday, June 13, 2017 at 2:37:09 PM UTC-4, Deacon Patrick wrote: > > Daniel, > > The Aim's description says it is "dual concave." Does that mean it is

Daniel, The Aim's description says it is "dual concave." Does that mean it is lower at the axel than at the front and back? If so, that limits foot position to forefoot only, no mid-foot pedaling. With abandon, Patrick On Tuesday, June 13, 2017 at 10:38:15 AM UTC-6, Daniel M wrote: > > The VP

No one's mentioned the Shimano M324, so I'll chime in for those. Flat one side and clipless the other. I have an 11.5 foot (wide) and for some reason the M324s work really well for me. For longer rides, I like to clip in, but I also like to wear sneakers, hiking boots or Vibram Five Fingers and
