Pedal w/Largest Platform?

I haven't seen any hard numbers, either...

...but the Shimano SL stuff all seem to have wide platforms, as do the Campy Pro-fit ones. I like a wide platform myself, because it should distribute the pedaling force over a greater area, and (I hope) forestall "hot spots." The jury is still out on that one. But what the others have said about platform width ultimately being a function of pedal, cleat, and shoe rings true.

You might want to just go to a shop, and take a look at them.

Plus, you can say to people...

"Hey, check out my big Crank(s)!"

Sorry to stir up so much controversy!

First, what does OP mean?


So, I wanted to duplicate that feel in an updated and lighter 08' pedal. Thus, I wrote my post looking for guidance. Hopeful this gives more clarification and ou may be able to offer some guidance in pedal selection?

Don't sweat the 'tude; this site seems to bring out in folks the need to not just give opinion, but club you over the head like a baby seal with theirs. I'm not sure why. I do recall that the article in a bike magazine about this website specifically mentioned this tendency.

"OP" usually means "original poster," or "other person"; I've seen both uses.

IMHO ("in my humble opinion" ), I think the Shimano SL or the Look Keo options would be to your liking.
