Platform Pedals Guide
Platform Pedals Guide
Pins
Pins grip the sole of your shoe to keep your foot in place while still giving you the freedom to take your foot off whenever you like. The pedal body is generally made of reinforced nylon or aluminium for greater durability.
Often they are adjustable in length with a small allen key. Some riders prefer the pins to dig into the shoe for ultimate grip, others prefer to be able to reposition their foot by having the pins less pronounced from the platform.
These are particularly good for control when you're riding off-road on tricky terrain. The main advantage of flat pedals is you aren't attached to your bike, so can get your foot down with ease.
Pins are replaceable on the higher-end models. Some higher-end pedals have features like grease ports and magnesium or titanium construction to save weight.
Shape & Size
They come in different shapes and sizes some with a more concave shape to suit rider preference.
Platform pedals come in different sizes that suit diferent sized feet and give different levels of support.
The pedal body itelf can have different profile. A low profile pedal will offer more clearence from ground strikes and give better power transfer, while a high profile pedal will likely be more robust and contail larger bearings and be easier to service.
- Simple and effective
- Easy to bail from the bike
- Specific shoe not essential
- Limited winter specific flat pedal shoes
- Feet can be blown off on rough terrain
- Thicker pedals can strike the ground on rough terrain
Axles
Steel or Titanium can be used for the axle with the latter being much lighter. Mid and High-range pedals run on sealed cartridge bearings with many seals for long-lasting performance.
Mid to high range pedals can be seried by the user, often there is a combination of bearngs and bushings used internally. Brands like Crank Bros, Nukeproof and DMR will sell service kits making it possible to do this at home.
