Swapping pedals

[Greeley]

Has anyone else concluded that our otherwise truly amazing R&M bikes might be deficient in the “grippiness” of the pedals?

I love my new Delite GX, but the stock pedals feel as slippery as plastic.

I’ve ordered some Shimano’s to swap out and to try to achieve a more stable connection.

I think most manufacturers fit cheap pedals, (or none), to their bikes, because they know they are a very personal thing, and most people will change them. First thing I did was change the pedals on my charger, for some DMR V8s, great pedals. Got them in white to match the bike, they look awesome.

I'm using Shimano PD-EH500's on my Homage. SPD on one side, flats on the other with nice grippy pins. Great combo!

Switched both my Haibike and R&M Charger GX to Origin 8 Slimlines. And ride with Etnies skateboard/bmx Michelin-soled shoes:

These i think are excellent:

I use Catalyst pedals on both my Homage Rohloff HS and my Delight Mountain...super comfortable, very positive grip. https://pedalinginnovations.com/

Good recommendations. Who knows the pedal socket size for R&M bikes? I have a charger. Thanks !

All pedals are the same size socket. Be sure to grease the pedal axle nut threads when you put them in

And don't forget the left pedal is reverse threaded.
I speak from experience.
