Red Catalyst Pedals

I thought I might be solving a problem. I didn’t have when trying out these new pedals. It turns out they are super comfortable, and I really prefer them over my other pedals. I was worried that I would be clanging these on rocks more often because they’re longer than my normal pedals, but that has not been an issue at all. Overall, I’m super impressed and really pleased that I got these. The cost is very reasonable too. Would highly recommend.

For me they were worth the price. They take getting used to. Foot placement is different than on a regular sized pedal. When standing or pedaling the larger pedal just feels better under the foot. Less stress on the arch.

When I started riding seriously it was during the era of toe straps and slotted cleats. I was an early adopter of Look clipless pedals, and of SPDs. I have been riding studded flat pedals now for about 10 years. The Pedaling Innovations Catalyst pedals and the idea of riding with the pedal spindle under the arch of my foot has been a game changer for me. The comfort of having my feet supported with a wide pedal allows me to wear comfortable shoes. I like the convenience of not having to deal with hard soled shoes with cleats. Eighteen studs on each side of each pedal keep my shoes securely attached. I use these pedals on my mountain bikes and on my road bikes.
