is that thinner than the flypaper ones?

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 twatted (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?
