Shoes, Pedals, and Pins

armour is the best option because even if your pedals didnt have pins it
would still hurt if you got hit in the shin by them so I would wear my
armour anyway

That is true, any pedal will hurt considerably when you ram it into
your shins, however pinned pedals do a LOT more damage. It's nearly
impossible to not bleed from a pedal bite when you have metal pins.

maybe you should make a prototype and see if it works or how good it is?
i would still wear leg protection though so i dont believe theres a
great advantage, my kh percussion armour is verry comfotable i forget i
am wearing them and end up wearing them most the day

When I first got my Nimbus Trials, I had *just* learnt to ride, and I
was crazy about not getting any pedal bites, so I switched my CX pedals
to my trials uni and didn't need 661's.
Big mistake.
After a while, I realized that if I wore my shin pads I would be fine
with spiked pedals. They hold my feet great, and I almost never ride
without my pads, so it doesn't matter what the pedals are like.

I would definetly say pads are the way to go.
