I use Atomlab Trail Kings, designed by Marvin Loetterlie, on my BMX bike and now on my bombadil, too.
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=1690 http://www.flickr.com/photos/43029...@n07/4177613378/ They're extremely low-profile (thin) and the newer models are even thinner. I haven't tried the newer model, because I can't believe they'd feel any better than the original Trail Kings, although they do look nice: new ones: http://bmx-bike.org.uk/product/9/6847/Atomlab-Trailking-Pedals.html I think worrying about reduced pedal-strike clearance (during cornering) due to wide pedals is kind of silly. Either don't pedal through corners, or know your clearance limits really well and you'll be fine. I think you can get along great by keeping my inside pedal up / not pedaling on the fast&sharp turns.
