Too narrow pedals

Monstermayank

I ride an MTB and changed to Xpeedo Traverse 7 pedals after my resin pedals broke. The issue is the Xpeedos are quite smaller compared to my older pedals and I feel my feet falling of on the edge of the pedal. I wear size 11 shoes. Should I get a wider pedals or try spacers ?

My Next option is Wellgo B249- it's 111.5x102
The Xpeedo measurements according to their website is 90x70.5

Makes sense to just get wider pedals if your current ones are too narrow surely???

Wow. Those xpeedos are some fugly pedals.

I have wide size 11 feet, never had an issue with normal stuff like wellgo variants, superstar nanos, nukeproof electrons

JGTR

Lol just googled them....think I can see what the problem is, those pedals are pony, just buy a normal set of pedals that are full width and don't have half the pedal missing.

Highly recommend Shimano Saint MX80 pedals, superb grip and plenty wide.

Thank you for replying guys. How would be Wellgo B249?- it's 111.5x102 I see Shimano saints is 90mmx96mm still not very wide and much expensive than wellgo.

I'd hunt around Ebay etc for Wellgo MG1 - a bit bigger than B249 I think, and lighter.

i considered MG-1 but mostly read about it that it's magnesium and chips easily while off roading and pin thread go off quite regularly.

Superstar nano, bargain and 101mm x 110mm, 17mm thick platform

Ok, how much do Nanos cost? and where can I get the discount coupon. Let's see if I can get them shipped here in India.

£40 without discount or shipping, but they do regular 25% codes if you google for them now and then. They seem like tey will ship to India, but check the website.

They are charging a whopping 144 pounds for shipping :O

Maybe email them, pretty good company, sure they will do their best to get you a pair with cheaper postage.

Nope I use them on all my bikes and never had a chip, or any lost pins yet. Been using them for years. So you might have heard wrong.

Probably one of the highly knowledgeable posters (ahem) on 'CYCLOP'.

Where in India, I could carry some out when I fly out if you can arrange a pickup in Pune!

Giant stores do some decent VP pedals as well.

@The rookie

Thank you so much for the gesture. I am in Lucknow but might manage a pickup or could pay for the shipping if it isn't asking for too much.

No problem, send me a private message (use the contact button by my name in a post) and we can try and sort something, I next fly out on Tuesday next week, or again 3-4 weeks after that.

Why would you buy pedals called ex-peados?

cooldad

The therapy must have worked.

Now to find some ex sheep pedals.
