Folding pedals

[Emanresu]

Had a request from the management to fit folding pedals to the bike. The MTB sits on a bracket on the wall and pedals catch. Seen folders on brommie so any suggestions?

Spa do some but wondered the pros and cons

I have something like these fitted.

With the folding head on the bars it makes the bike very slim.
Just you end up with a pair of mucky pedals in your hand.
I carry a plastic bag to pop them in

QR pedals are much nicer to ride with.

Would a length of foam pipe insulation, slipped over the cranks and protruding beyond the pedals, give a softer contact against the wall?

Or

You could just remove the pedal each time, before hanging on the wall bracket. Only a minute job to remove a pedal.

The decent quality ones on Brommies are MKS removables, that might be an alternative. Folders (the ones I’ve used) have often failed after a relatively short time and annoyingly flex, depends on your expectations.

I agree, folding pedals usually make the platform area narrower. QR would solve your issue and are just like regular pedals

Have opted for the QR suggestion from @Gwylan. Not a lot of cash if it doesn't do the job but it will keep the peace for a while.

Also realised that they are ideal for touring when I have to fly the bike somewhere. Easy in and out of the bike bag rather than faffing around.

Another +1 for QR pedals. Additional benefit is extra level of security - pop them off and into your bag.

I wondered about that. Whether they'd notice.

Also whether they might get removed or nicked, then I'm really stuffed.

Mixing business and pleasure always dangerous.

Not easy to tell they are removable pedals, doubt anyone would notice

Can be quite exciting though!

I don't get it...!

Surely, the idea is that the owner removes them so the would-be thief can't?
