Received my Blackspire Robustos today, and they're larger than the 100x94mm
platform reported. In fact, they match the size of my Raceface Atlas.
Liked the pedal and the price enough to order a red pair to back up my
Atlas pedals.

Here's a pic of the Catalysts mounted on my Sam, with my size 11.5 shoe
balanced on top.
This is approx. the position the shoe would be in, though I'd have to get
my wife to get an actual shot showing the position I found most
comfortable. It'd be very close to this, anyway, with both heel and
Patrick, I'm pretty sure that is the contact patch - it's measured that way
on 3 other Blackspire models I've bought.. (For women feet, the 74mm-wide
El Gordos are killer pedals)
I bought myself a pair at this price, just to have a back-up, if nothing
else.
When needed (so far, just Once),
Those look like good pedals, Ron. The are longer by VP Vice by a quarter inch,
but shorter from the contact area of the Catalyst by at least an inch (is 100mm
their full lenght, or the length of the foot contact surface?
With abandon,

I'm totally sold on spiked platform pedals, running on 3 of 4 bikes, and
agree with the arch concept of the Catalyst. Shanked shoes are not
required with good platforms.
I'll also state I've never tried a pair of Catalyst.
The length was my favorite feature of Grip Kings/ MKS Lambda.
I bought a second pair and put them on my touring/load carrying bike, a
Surly LHT. I like them for road cycling too.

Like them! Today I rode my Sam with Catalysts for the first time.
Thoughts:
- They're huge
- Had to lower my saddle and move it fwd about 2cm
- Takes some getting used to. I played around until I found a foot
position I could keep.
- Once I got used to them, I felt I could
Lum,
Thanks for bringing this up -- never heard of them, but I'm gonna try
them. Foot pain is really the only pain that has tarnished otherwise great
rides for me. I ride flat pedals (Shimano Saint), and appreciate their
width. But having both ends of the foot arch supported really makes
I am experimenting with a pair. I wear shoes and boots from size 11 to 13.
Redwing 11, Vans and Nike 12.5, 510 13, everything else mostly 12.
The extra length is VERY noticeable. Unlike any other pedal I have used
including gripkings. Not sure if I am experiencing all the wonderful benefits
FWIW - I do not have the Catalyst pedals but I too did not like how
slippery the Grip King are when wet

There are so many really good platform pedals out these days that it's
worth trying a few different ones from stores with at least a 30 return
policy. I can see larger shoe sizes working well with the longer platform.
The price doesn't bother me. Like the price of an excellent saddle, it is

I have size 13 shoes and need all the support I can get.
But is gaining .5" in overall length worth the $ 50 more than I paid for my
MKS Grip Kings??? Maybe I'll give the 30 day guarantee a try in the spring
if it's still offered.

Interesting question.
Would be interested to know why they fell out of use if they were around
before. That might save time and $$$ in trying them today if it was a legit
reason

I'm not quite ready to give these a go, though I'm sure I'd dig them. For
the time being, I'm a little more curious about their antecedents. Most of
my favorite things about my bikes, much of which I learned about via
Rivendell, are "old" innovations. Were pedals like the Catalyst around
Hi Jon,
I had grip kings a few years ago and did not like them when wet in the
least. Th ecatalyst are much better even when dry.

I agree with everything Deacon Patrick says. They are spendy and I have
them only on my Joe. They've been there long enough that I rarely think
about making the foot-position adjustment. The differences in the pedal
size "disappears" when I'm riding, which I think is the ideal.

On Friday,
Yes, I lowered my saddle a small amount. 1 cm approximately.

I have only had my Catalyst pedals for a couple of weeks so I cannot give a
full review. But my initial impression is they are the real deal.
I am 6 foot, 180lbs, size 11 shoe and ride most often in the dirt these
days. I am also 61 years old so I have gone through the circular evolution
