Good pedals for touring

[alexf]

Thanks everyone, I settled on the MKS touring pedals with clips (and possibly power grips) for the wife, and the shimano M324 for myself, after hearing about the badness of the A530s. I used to have pedals like the M324, which got horribly scratched and kept giving me the most awful scrapes on my calves.

Over a year ago now, at Ronks recommendation,I bought the Shimano M785 Trail and have been very happy with them.
I'll be retiring the Moulton soon for refurbishment and am currently undecided whether to shift its M785 Trail double sided clip ins to my Surly Ogre, or
to invest in their single sided sister the M780's (just for more choice).
Alexf, good luck with your self and wifes new pedals

I find clipless the best when there's quite a bit of climbing, allows you to pull through the back of your stroke...but I also like the flats when I just want to wear my hiking boots so I can stop/start and investigate little side trails...

I decided to try enjoying the best of both worlds so have ordered some Shimano Trail XT PD-T780 pedals
after enjoying a year of the dual sided clip in PD-T785's

I got a good deal from bike24 that I'm awaiting (as per usual with ze German pedestrian postage)

This is the Shimano Trail XT PD-T780 showing the clip in side (the other side is flat)

I use these...a bit more bite, just have to watch the shins...
