I was looking for a thin, not too big, quality platform pedal that was priced well. These Raceface Aeffect pedals fit the bill. They're exactly what I was looking for. The hex shaped removable pins offer a ton of grip, especially with my 5-10 shoes. I added the included washers under the pins to lower/shorten the pin height.
I ride in the SF area, hills, lots of em, using an e-bike most of the time. Urban riding can mean rapid stops, and wet conditions. For those reasons wanted a flat (non-clip) pedal for my bike. These pedals are perfect - the small studs provide the right amount of grab on my rubber soles, the pedals are not too heavy, and mount easily with hex wrench.
A winner!
While I certainly appreciate lightweight anodized aluminum parts
(I call ELS - ExpensiveLightweightStuff, along with Ti, Mg, Carbon, etc.),
I Really LOVE Riding!!!
For example, I use Azonic Outlaw WheelSet on my CrossCountry (rather, CrossStuntry!) MountainBike, with 2.5Tires...
Extra weight (with stronger components) just means More Exercise (while on the bike and because you are ON the bike, and not fixing it!), Less Expense (especially in the long-run), and More FUN!!!
Saving ounces on CRITICAL Components that can Leave You Hike-a-Bike walking?
NO Thank You...
Just remember to use some never-seize or grease so that (ALL your BoltsNuts) torque easily, hold better, and unthread without worries when you need in the distant future (like worn-out Chainrings)...
Feel satisfied when you stop to HELP Someone, instead of being the one needing help... Just Sayin'...
