Best dual sided SPD / flat pedals?

CantGetNoSleep · 17-02-2023 09:39PM #1

I'm building up a new commuter bike (on a tight budget in case it gets stolen). I want to put SPD pedals on it but the dual sided ones to allow me to take it out in normal shoes when I want to.

I had a pair of Shimano A530s and they were fine but I must have sold them and I can't find them in stock anywhere.

Shimano EH500 look like what I am looking for but they are 60€+, or Decathlon do an own brand pair for 35€.

Any recommendations?

I had the same issue and moved from the a530 to a decathlon btwin pedal ( probably the one you are thinking about) https://www.decathlon.ie/pedals/12213-180014-100-clipless-dual-platform-leisure-bike-pedals.html#/demodelsize-235no_size/demodelcolor-8298318

No problems and the platform on the flat side feels a little wider than the Shimano a530. They are on a touring/gravel/ commuter bike and current use is typically 50/50 SPD shoes / normal shoes.

Decathlon also do a slightly cheaper SPD /flat pedal ( I think it is one of their other brands - Rockrider ) but felt a bit cheaper than the btwin one mentioned above.
