Flat pedal: sorted👍

[Hicky]

Hi all, hit me up with what you have flat pedal wise available, ideally serviceable and having a spd on one side(not a deal breaker).
A nursery move for little legs means bike delivery to the door rather than walking.
Many thanks
Carl

I gave up riding spd years ago and haven't looked back since, I use two different flat pedals on my bikes.

For my Gravel and Mountain bikes I use DMR V12 pedals, which I find brilliant. They do have quite aggressive pins though, which is great for keeping your foot in place, however not so great for the soles of your shoes, or your shins! These are technically serviceable if you can find the service kits.

For everyday riding I use a less aggressive flat pedal on the folding bike, the snappily titled Shimano PD-EF202 pedal. Whilst I'm not sure I'd want to stand up on them in the rain giving it the beans uphill, they are in the main, great for everyday commuting and riding and I believe they are serviceable, though I've not had to try yet.

I think the OP is wanting to buy pedals from someone rather than looking for recommendations as it's in the wanted section.
Perhaps @Hicky could clarify.

 

[AndyRM]

I've a set. Where are you based @Hicky?

I think your right, I really should learn to read more clearly!

Ouch, pure agony! Those vicious pins go right through socks and skin too!

Yep to buy,....Manchester/Rochdale @AndyRM. I've got the clip in decathlon things you can attach to spd's but want something more perm.

Indeed!

I also found having my feet "kept in place" a surprisingly bad thing. I would plonk a foot on the pedal, start cranking, and then realise that the foot was ever so slightly out of position. With my SPDs the float allows corrective lateral rotation. With the spiky flats, I had to lift the foot and try again... repeatedly!

I used to own a pair of flat/SPD pedals that @Hicky could have had but donated them to someone else a few years ago.

I have DMR V12 on all my bikes, flat both sides.

Bit out of my neck of th woods - I'm in Newcastle. Hope your search goes well!

I have a pair of shimano pedals if you haven't already found a pair. Flat one side and SPD the other. I am in Chorley or you can have them for the cost of postage.

I gave up before I started, when I couldn't find any suitable cycling shoes.
