[RBW] Re: Favorite pedals?

[sameness]

Another all in for MKS sneaker pedals. I like to move my feet around a lot 
as well, so have abandoned clips and straps, SPD and their ilk, etc. I 
still get decent grip in rain wearing Chuck Taylors.

I'm not past clipless, but like the choice to ride without.  So, I like the 
Shimano "Campus" pedals (A530) which are platform on one side and SPD on 
the other.  Sometimes I'll reach for the wrong side, but it's easy to flip 
them without looking.  Best/worst of both worlds.

One more thing about Bruce Gordon's Half Clips:  Bruce modestly describes them 
as city bike hardware.  I find them well suited to multi-day touring.  They 
keep your feet in place yet allow modest shifts during the long haul which I 
anyway find helps prevent my feet getting sore.

I used to like BMX pedals or the MKS sylvans, but I have rubber block 
pedals on all my bikes now because they don't tear up my shoes, which often 
times have leather soles (moccasins).  My current fav is the wellgo 
LU-868 pedal.

I like the VP-001 pedals with grip 
tape. 
I only did one side of each pedal, since it's kind of a chore. I like to be 
able to micro-adjust my foot position, but it still has mega-grip. I used 
to have (make) pedal deck 
platformsthat snapped into 
clipless pedals, but I prefer just having the flat pedals 
and no cliplessness at all.

The VP-001 (Thin Gripsters) are my favorite.  I had been using Grip Kings 
on most of my bikes, but the VP's are taking over.  I am even trying a set 
on my Karate Monkey right now.  After riding clipless for 20 years on my 
mountain bikes, it took a few rides to get used to, but the VP's haven't 
slowed me down or decreased my fun on any trails so far.

Tom, I wear Merrells when I ride my grip kings - the soles bite like steel 
cleats, even in the wet.

VP Gripsters without a doubt. No need for straps and comfortable over the long 
haul. Work well with Sambas.

Thanks to all for the fine suggestions; I'm most likely to stay clipless, 
though am now aware of the wide rider support for SPDs.  It''ll be good to 
try out some options (and Grip Kings are coming on one of those already 
built Sams on sale; I had already ordered the frame on sale, and just went 
ahead last week and bought the built bike, including a few nice extras: 
GKs, a B17, kickstand, so all ready to roll).  

Bruce, those Urban Platforms are truly beautiful pedals, and I really like 
the elegantly simple strapless cages.

no wonder, those are gorgeous - the much higher end version of the MKS GR-9 
and strapless clips I put on my daughter's bike.
