I am doing a 180 mile ride over 3 days in June. I am riding a touring bike and do not want to use clipless pedals. Can anyone suggest a good pedal to match with these? Willing to spend more for even better strapless clip and pedals as suggested. Thanks.

A lot will depend on your shoes and the type of riding. If you are doing much out-of-the-saddle riding then a strapped clipless may be better, otherwise, if they fit your shoes, then these will be just fine. Be sure to practice getting out of them when you need to and get used to stuffing the toes in securely when jamming uphill and on technical downhills. Safety first. As for the pedals themselves, I prefer metal pedals with good bearings, but I am still using the originals that came with my 1988 Fisher Montare! No suspension for me, so a pedal's gotta be pretty durable on my fat tire bike.

The bike comes standard with toe clip pedals. I had to purchase clipless pedals online since my wife likes to 'clip in' with her cleats.

It does not fit "ANY" pedal. I had a set of pedals that it did not fit. I don't know about your particular application but the pedal must have two holes on on side to attach the clip with screws. Some pedals have these holes under a reflector which can be removed so that the clip can be attached and that works well but some pedals have a recess where the reflector mounts and that prevents the clip from attaching correctly. In addition, I have found that for myself these clips are too short and one of them seems to be improperly made so that it forces my foot to point in the wrong direction when pedaling. This is causing some strain on my knee. I have ordered a different set from Avenir which seem to be better made (and are a little more expensive). I have not received them yet so I cannot comment on their quality.

Yes. Nice sturdy pedal. I have it on my spinning bike and they are very easy to get in and out of. I use clip side only but straps and toe clip is well made and easy to take off and put back on.

Honestly any pedal at your local bike shop would fit perfectly fine as long as it's a bmx pedal because they are bigger. I have just some random bmx pedal on my fixed gear and I think it's the best. There is no difference in others.

You would need to get clip pedals separately as they come with regular pedals that have toe straps.

well i bought a shimano next mountain bike from someone, and i don't know if it was my weight or bike, but the back part that guides the chain as you chain gears bent and broke the spokes, so now i am in the same boat. I only weight 230, and i have lost weight, but walking hurts my knees and feet, so i am wanting to ride to get more of a cardio work out. any suggestions?

The included pedals are "clips". In other words a platform pedal with a strap.You can install your own clipless pedals very easily.

Not very practical as there isn't a very large contact point.If you want something you can ride clipless or flat you might wanna try crank brothers mallet pedals.

Its different than an outdoor bike in that it doesn't freewheel so your transition has to be done in cadence. The supplied pedals are good quality but they don't take clip in shoes. I tried a hill climb as you described several times, the bike is plenty sturdy but my knees were kind of close to the brake calipers.. No problem getting my heart rate up into zone 4 seated so I'm not going to bother trying those standing sprints.

The pedals that came with the bike have cages. If u want to use bike shoes with clips you will need to order new pedals. I found the clips pedals on Amazon for $25.00. I bought the SPD pedals and they were easy to install on the bike�

Yes.These pedals are adequate. However, if you're looking for pedals as good as Shimano...not these. The clip in/out is not smooth. Quality is not high.

I use mine on my road bike. I wanted a slightly larger platform than the standard road bike pedals. You can clip into either side.

Shimano uses the shape of a SPD cleat molded into the pedal, so actually you clip it in as you would with a SPD footwear. I hope this helps. Good luck!

The farthest I've gone in them is 40 miles. A Century ride, personally I'd go with a more proven name. I like Pearl Izumi myself. I mean their not bad but a Century ride, not happening. You cant beat the price though.Good for 40 or 50 mile stuff. Any longer my first choice is P.I.

No. Please note that "clipless" pedals are the pedals in which you clip into the pedal with a cleat on the bottom of your shoe. I know, it sounds weird and wrong, but that's the term for it.

They work great as spd pedals. Long rides with out latching on is uncomfortable , but it works fine on short rides but it takes getting use to if you keep stepping on the wron side
