Any thing I should look at instead of? Got big feet so big surface is a bonus!!

24 bicycles Butterfly II, they have a massive surface and are super thin profile, best flats by far.

After recently having a go on some it has to be penthouse flats, they're huuuuuuuge! Epic grip.

Shame about the price, and once I have one set I'll need more for the other bikes. Rats.

nout grips like a dmr v8 and v12. there good in the shin too! bushings go on the v12s pretty quick though.

another one here for the 24 butterflys i'm using the originals as refuse to let them go cos they are brilliant but i think you can only get the butterfly 11 now. But they are fantastic!!!

Disagree - especially with big feet. DMRs have relatively small platforms compared to many newer pedals.
I've had V8s and V12s for ages, just swapped to the Superstar Nano Tech flats (same as Nuke Proof, Kona Wah Wah etc..) Wish I had swapped a lot earlier. Much more grippy, bigger platform and thinner profile.

Canfield crampons here, not cheap but if you want large platform and thin, I think they're the thinnest largest area you can buy for normal pedals,, but this has been done about 4 times this week already.

+1 SuperStar Nano Techs. Especially if you have big feet. Nice low profile and good price too!

Easton Flatboys are more than worth a look if you've got big feet. They're bombproof and very grippy too!

I have a set of Eastons. Lovely pedals, also run two sets of Atomlab's which are also great. The other pedals I run are DMR V12's and Crank Bros 50/50 which aren't as good as the other mentioned.
