The original pedals were of, well, not the best quality and I replaced them with pedals of a better quality. Now I want to change to pedals with SPD clips as I would like to use hard sole bicycle shoes. I tried toe clips and straps and it wasn't really satisfactory and my bike shoes are all SPD. The question is, are SPD type pedals with 1/2" - 20 threads available? There are no 1/2" SPD pedals, a recurrent topic here since the 1990s! -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 Is there actually a commercial-sized need/demand for 1/2" SPD pedals, as distinct from a few old fogies who think it would be nice to have them but won't pay for custom machining? Andre Jute Redline Flight changed the 20" MX/Freestyle world from OPC to modern CrMo cranks with 9/16" so the volume went below breakeven for pedal makers. http://bmxmuseum.com/forsale/401_1_blowup.jpg All the OPC exercisers in the world is still a small number. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 Thanks. Interesting history lesson. I once looked for a pair of those Redline cranks but this side of the water they're like antiques, and priced accordingly. That successful crank design was the turning point. Current models are Flight 2.5, Device, Flight Tubular, Flight AL, etc. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
