Building a tow-path steed for the wife, looking for some run-of-the-mill pedals which are relatively light and won't die after a couple of rides.

I've come across offerings from wellgo and MKS for around 15 quid, any other suggestions. Thanks.

Have a look on Pinkbike for some second hand ones dead cheap.

Alternatively, go on eBay and get a set of plastic BMX pedals in her favourite colour. I got some for my daughter for £6.

Tow path bike?
Go to your LBS and ask what they have in the bits box.

Wellgo pedals are pretty decent and look ok too - reasonable cost and seem to last!

+1 for the V8 Copies. They are remarkably good.

Wellgos last for ages. Mustve had mine for a good 4-5 years now. They are rattly as **** though!

Got some black ones of these on my Kona HT - they are as good as you'd need a pedal to be.

What Flash'rt said. Don't be getting any radnar skin removers - scarred shins might put her off for ever.

For your wife on towpaths? Don't get metal pins - Odyssey Twisted PC if you must have pins as they are at least plastic and won't make quite such deep gouges in her legs. I have those on my trials uni, and the grip is fine even in the wet, without the same level of worry about injury from them.
