pedals debate....

[MtnBikerChk]

I'm looking for something for a canal bike. I need float and a big platform. If I could just combine my Frogs with some Wellgo's

why not try the speedplay x2s? Not the biggest platform but the most float!

Used both SPDs and Crank Bros.

Crank Bros win my vote by far. I've got Egg Beaters and Candy pedals and they are both fantastic. The movement I get in them is great. On the spds I just felt too locked in.

Possibly getting Acids or Mallets, for the future fs :]

The least of my favorite things is pedals. I bought spds because of peer pressure. I have ridden on platforms (no clipless) for a long time because of a bad knee and now a foot that no one seems to know what to do with (it got jammed between two rocks- good thing it wasn't clipped in bc it would of gotten broken. Anyway, I was looking for a pedal that you can clip in one side, and have a platform on the other. I have a set right now on my commuter that are 'gym quality' because that's all I could find. Would these do the same? I would like to put them on my mtb 'some day' as yes, you do go a bit faster, but right now I'm still rehabbing the foot and let me tell you, clipless is painful.

I can't really tell from the pic if these can be flipped around. And it sounds like you guys know your pedals!

Flat on one side, shimano spd of the other

I do not own Mallets but I think you can clip in on both sides which is not what you are after.
Shimano have some that are platform on one side clip in on the other. Have a look here:

Good luck with your pedal hunt.

Thanks for the links! I have regular flats on my mtbike and the combo ones on my commuter bike. I don't mind clipping in commuting but mtn biking, no deal. Either way I'm not supposed to until they figure out what happened to the foot. SPDs have a lot of float but it doesn't help the foot.
