Just get cages and be done with it!

 

Flats are rad. Cleats are rad.

 

Bikes are rad!

 

This argument is not what the OP asked.

 

OP, I have a set of Odyssey pedals you can have. DM me

In a nutshell!

What ever blows your hair back.

We all love cycling.

Ride the pedals that you feel happy with. It is not important. Just enjoy what you are doing.

 

 

 

 

And always remember that clipless is the best.

What benefits? There is no way on this earth that ANYBODY will convince we that a flat pedal and a clipless pedal deliver the same power through a pedal stroke.

Vetty, where you ride on the great Freestate flats nothing can compare to clipless pedals ....

The Giant pedals are decent value for money. Entry level Shimano and Spezialised flat pedals are decent enough, but a bit above the budget you mentioned.

 

 

Remembering the key to flat pedals is the combination of pedals AND shoes. The studs needs to grip the sole of the shoes, for this the shoes should :

 

- have flat soles, raised arches means it does not make contact with all the studs

 

- thus sole should be soft enough for the studs to grip into it, very hard plasticy soles slip over the studs

 

Not many tekkies confirm to this. Skateboard shoes are the next option.

 

2FO, 5-10, and DC are some of the known cycling shoes. The shoes flex much less than tekkies and skateboard shoes, this helps, but is not as crytical as the first two.

 

That and the fact that normal running shoes tend to have a softer compund sole and would get quickly damaged
