Most pedals I’ve had do not spin at all. I can’t imagine that resistance
doesn’t add up on a long day (with all those watts I put down!). Even if
it’s a perceived gain, I’ll take it!

All of this aside, when do you need a pedal to spin more than 1/4 turn?

I believe MKS uses varying grades of bearings in their pedals. For example,
they sell the Sylvan pedals at several different price points and the
deluxe super-spinner bearings are in the more expensive version.
Behold: the Bubblies have better bearings than the Bears?

I have blue lug sharks that I've put upwards of 2k miles on this year and
they don't spin like any of my mks pedals. They're great/look great but I'm
fairly certain they are the last non-mks pedals I'll buy and I'm pretty ok
with that. Of course ymmv...

Max:
I would bet the pedals will break-in and spin easier with use. I would expect a
cartridge bearing system to be as smooth as they get right from the box, but I
would not expect the same of a free bearing system like the pedals you feel are
snug out of the box.
As referenced below, I have a
Unhelpful to the spin convo but I was pretty disappointed at the lack of grip with the beartrap. They look great but riding in Converse my feet just slip too much. Just traded one of my three sets for a pair of Lambdas. Are the Bubbly pedals grippy?On Dec 9, 2022, at 07:49, Minh wrote:i have the
Eric, I had that problem (too sticky) with the VPs Riv sell/sold. I'm not sure
how it's so different, but the Deity Black Kats I use now with spikes don't do
it so much. Maybe there's fewer of them and spread over a bigger platform?

Funny this subject came up now. Yesterday swapped out the MKS sneaker
pedals on the Hillborne for an old set of VP pedals that have been on and
off a couple of bikes over the years. Not sure which model. They do need to
be mounted with an allen wrench and not a regular pedal wrench. They are
I started with bare pedals, added clips without straps, added straps, added
slotted cleats, switched to various sorts of clipless, notably Speedplays
and KEOs for road, the on a perverse whim went back to clips and straps and
very nice, ballet-slipper-like leather Rivats with slotted cleats on my

I have been using these VP-831P Bauhaus pedals for 4 years now, after
seeing them in a picture of rich@rivbike's Appaloosa. I love how sticky the
grip tape is with any footwear I use, and I eliminate the problem I had
with getting scratched up with studded pedals. I don't typically ride in
rain or
That is much my strategy, tho', since I don't wear street shoes indoors, it
is easy for me to slip on shoes with SPD cleats when I want to, say, run
errands.
I used X-1s for years and liked them a lot; the principle problem with all
Speedplays, X's and Frogs alike, is their susceptibility to
I agree with Ron - form follows function. I haven't regularly ridden
another pedal since I put on GKs over 3 years ago. Most interesting to me
is that I like them with my 11.5 EEE feet, and my wife likes them with her
much smaller and narrower feet. Bob

Evolve Cruzer. Light and comfy! I have two pairs and wear them at work
and on the bike. Haven't clipped in since I started wearing these. Props
to Amit for prompting me to check these out. Zappos has 'em...

Those pedals are the same as or very similar to the stock pedals on my
friend's lately purchased Novara Fusion and I have to say that, at least
with boat-type slip ons, those on the Novara, at least, don't grip very
well.
What I'd like to see is rubber block pedals with a half clip, but I suppose
Sorry my post wasn't clear. I am using these pedals- they don't grip
well, but I got used to it, and don't have any trouble keeping my feet on
them.

Grip Tape. $5 at the skate shop will put gription on every pedal you own.
They have enough stickability to ride fixed offroad with no other
retention.

Cool idea, but my whole point for using these pedals is that they don't
chew up my footwear (or feet if barefoot), and I have found that I don't
miss the grippiness of pins or whatever.
