Road bike pedals

Road bikes are today real jewels of technology and are highly appreciated by both competitors and amateurs for their lightness, smoothness and speed.
Road bike pedals , together with the saddle and handlebars, are one of the parts with which the cyclist is in direct contact with the bike. The pedal is the point of connection between the feet and the transmission and transforms the pedaling into movement.
The pedals are composed of:

• An axis positioned, in the opposite direction to that of pedaling, on the cranks. The axle, usually made of titanium or steel, has the task of keeping the pedal steady while driving and preventing it from unscrewing.
• Body: that is, the base on which the cyclist rests his foot. The body has the task of supporting the force imparted by the cyclist and is designed to favor the attachment of the foot at any time. As far as the material is concerned, the pedal body is usually made of aluminum, composite plastic material, carbon or magnesium.
• Quick release system: to easily attach / detach the sole of the shoes.
• Pin: the pin joins the pedal to the crank. The pedal body rotates around the pin by means of bearings. The pins are usually made of alloy, steel or titanium materials.

Road bikes are equipped with quick release pedals to keep the shoe firmly in place, for greater safety while driving, a smoother ride and correct biomechanical action. The range of pedals for racing bikes is very wide as regards weight, materials and the possibility of adjusting the force and angle of the quick release system. Before going on to the purchase it is good to have in mind what type of use you will want to make of the product such as the type of pedaling desired, the freedom and flexibility of movement of the foot and your experience with road bikes as well as the compatibility of the components (shoes, pedals, cleats and cranks).
