[Closed] Pedals how thin can you go?

but are they indeed WIDER and thus negating the benifits of thin pedals ?

🙄 There isn't just one benefit of thin pedals, there are a multitude

whats that then . smash up easy - pins rip out easy , less floor clippage , lower COG by a half cm ...

They're missing a trick, they could put a wee bearing/bushing in behind the crank arm to strengthenlighten/narrow things up.

Flypapers FTW!

TR they are cromo, and aren't the main benefits stopping your feet rolling over?

not an issue i have really - dropped heels FTW

can see how they would help though

Less chance of the pedal 'rolling', resulting in your shin getting ****ted (it hurts). More ground clearance, lower centre of gravity. So you get the feeling of a lower BB but with more ground clearance. It's a win win situation

Cleland have a Swingpedal which offers a platform BELOW the pedal spindle.

That Swingpedal is messed up. Infact, that whole bike is rather messed up.

My eyes!!! 😯 Get me the bleach!

@ the Cleland swingpedal and CFH's flypapers equally!

that cleland twinklydaves new race bike ......

As soon as I saw those cleland pedals in Privateer, I thought "Genius!"

Those swing pedals kinda make sense if you had a really high BB, but I imagine it must feel a little odd?

Cheep, thin, flat strong, what's not to like?

Pretty right on comment, especially the last sentence, from the....erm...comments section:

Thinner isn't necessarily better. World Cup pros run Burgtecs, Straightlines and 50-50's. Crankbrothers released a new, thinner pedal, and nobody runs them. Check out the recent Brendan Fairclough bike check: old 50-50's.

Thin pedals are a fad, like flat handlebars. Thankfully both fads will die, as will all humans in the robot apocalypse.

Blimey, they're going to be around until the robot apocalypse?

flat handlebars are a fad, i thought risers were the fad?
