If I want flat pedals with my five tens that doesn't use metal pins (that can hurt the shin) for general trail and sometimes road cycling, are there any good pedals for this? From my research, I see these two:

Race Face Ride:

Look Trail Grip:

Anyone with experience in these and if they are good upgrades to my current pedal (below)? Thanks

I currently uses this Wellgo pedal:

    You'll need to double check the specific model but most of the better pedals have replaceable pins which means you can simply remove the pins so have more options available to you than the two listed above.

    TBH I'd rather have the extra grip that pins provide particularly off road.

    Pedals have a challenging job. For starters, they're among the 3 contact points where your body and your bike match, so have to provide a suitable port in addition to an element of control.

    But they're also the means by which you transmit the power in your legs into the bike's drivetrain to propel you across the trail.
