Chris NewbyFraser Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 Saw this on the Ridinggravel website. Lightweight cross between a road pedal and mtb. Along with their Venturemax flared drop bars, Ritchey seems to be taking a very big interest in gravel bike componentshttp://ridinggravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/wcs-micro-pedal_preview.jpeg

Chris NewbyFraser Posted November 7, 2017 Author Posted November 7, 2017 looks like the old WCS V4 - what makes it a gravel pedal? Gravel bikes have a low BB height. This pedal has better ground clearance than a mtb pedal which allows for better cornering at speed and better obstacle clearance(than a standard road cyclocross pedal). I regularly bash my SPD's. This pedal also has a bigger contact patch improving foot pressure comfort.

eddy Posted November 7, 2017 Posted November 7, 2017 Really? People get off their bikes and carry them up and over obstacles while riding through the Karoo? I have been missing a trick....  Sure, I got off my bike and pushed it over the Swartberg which was one obstacle to far when riding in the Karoo last week.

TALUS Posted November 7, 2017 Posted November 7, 2017 Sure, I got off my bike and pushed it over the Swartberg which was one obstacle to far when riding in the Karoo last week.Only a few days left before Hell and Back. I am hoping there will be no pushing due to either bad legs or road surface.
