    Small platform pedals

    I'm hoping I can get some recommendations - I am looking for a platform type pedal similar in size to GR-9's but with some grip that they can be ridden with no foot retention. I only ride freewheel so am not concerned about foot retention, but would like some grip benefits similar to bmx type pedals only in a smaller size. I am currently using a pair of Wellgo RO-25's, but these do not have as much grip that I would like to have. I have seen the Tioga Spider and Surefoot, but these look quite a bit longer and not as low of a Q factor. Anyone have any other options? Thanks.

    Hi. I have Answer Rove FR pedals on my hybrid and they have terrific grip with the 10 hex head pins on each side. Here's a link to the Answer Products web site (I have no affiliation with the company):

    The Wellgo B219 pedals look pretty good as well:

    Also, Wellgo B184's:

    Thanks for the reply and links, flan48 - but I am looking for a much smaller platform, similar in size to the MKS GR-9 platforms which are approx. 65mm x 75mm:

    Thanks for the added links, flan48. The Wellgo Touring look to be exactly what I am looking for. As mentioned, I also found these Tiogas but seem to be a bit long:

    TIOGA USA

    I also ran upon these Xpedos, but again a tad long:

    The Wellgos are a tad shorter than the others. Thanks.
