I have Crank Bros 5050X pedals that I love for all riding.

They go downhill AND uphill.

It's great being able to adjust the placement and height of the traction pins, and I bought an extra pack of tall and regular pins which allows me to customize the surface of the pedal even more.

Honestly, I like them better than my Speedplay Frogs and MUCH better than the toeclips I used for decades.
