Pinkbike Poll: How Big Are Your Favourite Flat Pedals?
Burgtec are the one for me. Never measured a pedal, just go off if I like what they feel like or not.
A mate uses those pedal innovations monstrosities for touring, he loves them. I think they feel super odd, even after a prolonged try.
I just think contact points are personal choice. Can’t be a right or wrong here surely.

Editors' Picks: Our Top Clipless MTB Shoes for 2026
@Muscovir: yea I feel like the odd one out here for sure. I’ve ridden a mix of flats and spds for 20 odd years across all cycling disciplines (only exception being that I always run flats on my jump bike) I was always told to put the cleat under the ball of the foot. So I would say I’m “middle/forward” in terms of clear position and I tend to ride flat pedals with the axle under the ball of my foot too. Just feels better for pedalling hard.
I’ll be honest, this article made me question of I’ve been doing it all wrong since about 2001.
I might have a go at running cleats further back now, but I reckon it would feel very odd.

Pinkbike Poll: If You Had $8,000 Today To Spend on Biking, What Are You Doing?
Got my dream do everything bike, good gravel bike, and a sweet dirt jumper.
So I think it would be a park/dh bike, lower spec v10 and then a couple grand for a nice alps trip.
Week in the morzine area on the big bike, then Swiss/italian alps for a week on the enduro bike.

10 Ways to Restore That New Bike Feel
Decided to dislocate mine and snapped my pcl and mcl just after new year. So my big maintenance is doing bugger all for four months while it all heals.

Pinkbike Poll: How Many Days Did You Ride in 2025?
Never enough, always keen for the next one! That said, I’m always more bothered about the quality rather than the quantity.
Hopefully everyone has a new year filled with stoke, good vibes and friends. And as many good rides as they can.
