Might be worth a try...
I’m very curious about those pedals. What’s the advantage of those if I may ask, apart from obviously gorgeous looking?
Crank Brothers Stamp 1 (composite) or 7 (aluminium) pedals are very flat, lightweight, may come in size Large for large feet, and their pins hold the feet as if shoes were glued to them. You actually need to raise your feet to take them away from the pedals. Additionally, Stamps are slightly concave for better ergonomics. (I assume OP mentions the Crank Brothers Stamp pedals). The Stamps are highly acclaimed in the MTB world. Now I use Stamps on all my e-bikes.
They (Flats style) are designed for MTB where one wants a sure footing without cleats (clipless). To get that solid footing there are small pips that rise out of the surface. The result is like inverse cleats-spikes. It is VERY hard to slip off, but more to the point, once you put your foot down it is like strong glue, so each stroke your foot-shoe does not move side to side or back-forth. This is important because you can now make circles with your feet instead only pumping down. You can push forward in the stroke and even pull upward from the bottom, if you tilt your foot.I’m very curious about those pedals.

Hi Stefan. I thought you were at one time using RaceFace Ride pedals? I actually bought a pair due to your recommendation! I really like them for the price. I also like that they won’t tear up your shins like metal pins can.
I use RF Ride in the warm season
The reason for replacing these pedals with Stamps for the winter is my winter-boot soles slip on the otherwise excellent Rides during the cold and wet weather. Bear in mind, my legs are protected by at least three clothing layers in the winter; no danger to hurt calves or shins with the spikes of Stamps. In the warm season, that part of legs is bare and vulnerable, hence RaceFace Rides.
Hi,
Somebody yesterday or day before reported Magura brake problems they had from having the bike upside down for a while. Anybody ever heard of such a thing? His claim was air bubbles from the brake reservoirs traveled up the tubes and could cause brake failure. ???I've always liked the thicker flat top magnesium MG-1 pedals that Wellgo makes. They are not concave, but you also do not feel the center piece bulging up. Wellgo sells another pedal called the MG-5 that is light and wide etc. but I dislike them because I feel the center part through my shoe. It's nice that many of their pedals come in different color options. I was able to get red and match my mountain bike

ps. I usually store my bike upside down like this so the tires stay inflated longer. I run tubeless, and I found that even with non-electric bikes, I had this issue where the tires would go flat after a while of just sitting there with the bike weight pushing down on them.
Thank you
