  1. Ok guys. I am fairly new to road cycling and I need some advise.

    I got a Carrera TDF fom Halfords when it was on sale (pretty nice components for the price). However, I don't like the pedals that it came with.

    Here's the problem. We messed up my brother's crankset thread because either I am really really bad at threading, or the pedals we used were bad.

    So his crankset is supposed to take in 9/16 pedals. We bought some cheap flat pedals and not long after one of them started coming off and the thread on the crankset was messed up.

    These are the ones we tried:

    I kinda like these for my bike:

    But the thread on these looks like the one that messed up bro's crankset.

    Specs for the ones I want:

    • Size(mm):119 x 90 x 25( L x W x H)
    • Weight:409g
    • Diameter of the screw head:14.28mm

    We also have Wellgo M-19 pair but I don't want to get into that as I only use the bike couple of times a week for commuting to university.

    I also don't want to spend that much on pedals.

    Please help me out.

  2. Nevermind. I decided to go with SPDs

    Good choice. The benefits of foot retention, without some of the negatives (mostly off-the-bike related) of full road pedals and shoes. I think that some SPD pedals are designed with one clip-in side, and one flat side so you can commute or run errands in regular footwear.
