slightly wider platform pedals?

mudsucker

I'm currently running some DMR V12mags on my Stumpy fsr and i find when i pedal i only have my feet on the pedals half way, in that i only use the outside of the pedals as this is what i find most comfortable. If i try to bring my feet in in and use the whole surface i feel a bit cramped.

Is this because my pedals are too narrow for me (axels too short)? i think i have heard of people saying that DMRs are narrow. If this is the case, can anyone recommend a wider platform pedal i can try?

Cheers

wellgo b-54's are good and big, many people recomend them for big fet, but their good for smaller feet too- i really like mine, amazingly grippy. superstar pedals are also highly rated, and their quite wide and flat

Gusset Slim Jim are an option. Really like mine (size 13 feet), but I've not tried that many pedals.

Sounds like you ride with your legs wide apart! Can you get a crankset with a higher 'Q factor'? I guess they are all about the same.

Tried thinking about your overall position as you ride? Maybe think about your knees as well as your feet? If you havn't yet tried it for long, might be worth persisting with your feet properly on your pedals to see if you get used to it, rather than being put off by an intial feeling.

Thanks for the replies peeps. Thanks for the sugestions on the pedal. Never heard of cranksets with a wider Q factor. I'll do a bit of research.....

Cheers,
