Looking for a Pedal with the Shimano Road Flavor, But for My Cross Bike

[samtaylor1]

I really like the shimano road pedal style (specifically the ultegra set). I was wondering if there is a mountain/ cross pedal that has a large platform (at least sorta like the shimano road pedal), that is two sided?

Right now I just have a set of spd pedals, which I really like (though have never used the time or frogs), but for the riding I am doing in Detroit city (the roads warrant a cross bike), I would love to have a pedal with a larger platform.

Thanks

Time ATAC's should do well for you.

Check out the Crank Bro's line of two sided pedals:

You may find a different solution to what you are looking for.

Has anyone used the crank brothers "quatro" pedal?

Thanks

I tried the Quattro and did not care for it. Some people seem to like it fine though. The Quattro is really an attempt to convert an eggbeater into a road pedal. With my Sidi's, I had to install some adapter plate so the cleats would align properly. It made the pedal seem awkward and increased the stack height.

Crank Bros has a large platform "Mallet" pedal that might be worth considering. I like the looks of it but, have not tried it.

Shimano also has their 424 and 647 pedals which also might be worth considering - especially if you like the SPD pedal.

I will agree that the Dura-Ace or Ultegra SPD-SL pedals are just plain hard to beat.
