With PW8 and Ekoi teaming up on an all-new road pedal system, Warren Rossiter asks why there has been little progress since the 1980s
With the news of PW8 and Ekoi teaming up on an all-new PW8 x Ekoi road pedal system, I began to ponder why road pedals have barely progressed since the 1980s.
The new system is a bold one. The pedal itself has no moving parts for the engagement. It requires a dedicated shoe (produced by Ekoi) and the ‘cleats’ consist of only two small pieces.
This approach gives the shoe direct contact with the pedal, a first in road shoe/pedal design
