My nephew had his SPD shoes nicked from student digs. I said I'd get him some flats until he saves up to get new shoes. What's the best flat plastic pedal for under £30 for big feet.
these are good. just over £30 but if you look around you should find some cheaper ones
Rockbros composite have been great on some group use HTs that have been used a lot - should be able to get those for <£25
Thanks
I have a set of the ht composite ones. Very impressed. Seem to be around £35 mark most places
PA03A is just excellent- good size, tough, doesn't do anything bad or weird.
If you can wait a week or so the Thinkrider plastic flats from Aliexpress are roughly as good, and cheaper. I'm only a light person so I can't say I've stress tested them but I've ridden them a bunch and on some pretty hard riding, and pedal struck them like an absolute bastard at least once, I'm a little wary recommending cheap stuff like this but they've been good for me. The pedal shape is very like the (no longer available, excellent) Nukeproof horizon comp.
My nephew used a set of these (£26) from Amazon for a year or so and they were better than I expected, CNC'd aluminium and the bearings were still spinning smoothly when he sold the bike when he'd outgrown it
Surely he could get some SPD compatible shoes from somewhere like Vinted if he's not too fussy?
Thanks all.
I ordered some DMR v11 for him. He's a dopey sod so they could be in his mates car or anywhere. They'll probably turn up over the summer but at least he can ride the bike for now.
My Burgtec composites are very good in terms of grip but I've found that weirdly, my current set the axles seem to be made of cheese. My old ones, absolutely fine...
Thanks all.

When the shoes do turn up he’ll have lost the spd pedals 😂
