Around the high 50's.
I think the VP-59's are what i'm going with. They are super slim and a really nice design.0 -

Being new to the scene im not sure about prices.
what would be the Rolls Royce of flat pedals then?0 -
Goole has reveald these:
£££££0 -
HT and Wellgo (and VP, but not in this case unless the retailer has hiked up the prices) make a lot of these pedals for the branded names, and do their own slightly different (cosmetic) versions for a hell of a lot less money. A few smaller places CNC their own and charge a fortune. They know looks sell.
If you want a good pedal, go for Wellgo MG1 or Superstar Nanos. If you want them lighter, fit the titanium axles.
Less than £60 and weighs just 300g:

If I had smaller feet, I'd go for the MG1s sonic linked to every time. As it stands, I have a set on my commuter / beach bike, but prefer to use the Superstar pedals (the ones I linked to, or the mag versions) for the "proper" riding, as they have a bigger profile (and a bigger weight).0

Pretty sure the Mg1 are larger than Nanos! Will have to check.0

Nanos = 105x100x17mm LxWxD
Mg1 = 114.6x106.2x30.8 (inc pins, depth is 19mm in middle)0 -
Whilst true in a way and being from Surrey I have to of course spend such ridiculous amounts on pedals, the Vaults really are very nice and really super grippy. They're worth extra over many cheaper pedals. Worth the RRP? No. But who pays RRP anyway? Best value? Of course not, but then Value Beans from Tesco are considered best valuesupersonic wrote:Not the first two, ridiculously overpriced.
MG1s are good value, but chunky, paint wears off and pins go missing frequently from what I've noticed. Not a problem though for many people who use them. Superstar Nanos are perhaps the nearest "cheap" and nearly as sexy as Vault pedals.
As grippy, Welgo B54s. Similar grip and platform size, but thick and ugly.
If you've got the money, it's really worth trying the Vaults. Many who have are converts and seen spud users tempted. Just shop around and look for them on offer. No more than £60 though. Ideally they'd be £40 or £50. Give it time.0 -
The Vault is still a £25-£35 Wellgo pedal though, with a £60 DMR badge on it ;-).0

That's wierd!
Why do my nanos feel bigger than my MG1s? I wonder if it's something to do with the thickness
