great USA made platform pedals

I raced on hutch bear trap pedals in the early 80’s and have the scars to prove it. Along with a few “trophies “ 😂

I think Canfield used to make some really beautiful ones called ‘Crampons’ or similar. I have a set of Crank Bros for a rainy day to ride every once in a while - I stick with my Times though.

That said, I don’t think these are made in USA, they’re they are designed here...

I still show off the scars on my shins from these!!

Here's some Crupi rounds and a shin (sorry!) I ran GT He Mans and ended up with Odysseys eventually..



I'd recommend using the nylon platforms for the time being (Odyssey Twisted are a good, durable, example: https://shop.odysseybmx.com/collecti...del-twisted-pc Learn on something more forgiving, I'd say..

That 'ill buff right out.

one of my buddies almost completely severed his achilles tendon when one of those pedals hit it in a jumping crash. It was super gnarly.
