Dave, those look nice. If I don’t like the MKS I have coming I will look at these. Wet riding would not be an issue for me and I like the short pins. Thank you Joel On Fri, Nov 6, 2020 at 12:57 PM 'Dave Small' via RBW Owners Bunch < rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com> wrote: > I'm a fan of VO's

I have VP platforms on a number of bikes and like them for light use but would never again use them for touring. The bearings that VP use are of a lower quality than those used by MKS (I think it has to do with the outer being a bushing with a plastic sleeve or something). Either way, I've had V

The only thing bad about the VP Vice is sometimes they tear up your shoes. Don't wear nice shoes with them!! I learned that the hard way. On Wednesday, November 4, 2020 at 9:24:37 PM UTC-5 Michael Morrissey wrote: > VP Vice all the way! They're thinner so essentially lower your bottom > bracket

VP Vice all the way! They're thinner so essentially lower your bottom bracket or center of gravity a little more than you'd expect. Very nice. I haven't tried the others though. The Speedplays look nice! VP Vice are generally expensive but I found some on eBay for $40 or so a pair. I think I ha

I am fully converted to the MKS Monarch / Lambda now. They were a tad strange feeling at first with the curved ends, but you get used to that and the grip and support is wonderful, especially it's boot season here now. I love the Chromag Scarab pedals as well but they are $$$ (I have them on m

I really like my Spank Oozy pedal, and I found a used pair to help with the cost. They're really nice and big but have tons of negative space and are wicked thin/light so they don't look clunky even on my 'road' bike. Analog has tons of literature on flat pedals and these were one of their appro
