What are alloy platform pedals?

Are they good and light? Or is there better ones? Do they last long? What’s a good size?

Alloy platform pedals are lighter than their counterparts, steel or chromoly. There are also plastic pedals with steel spindles inside, but the plastic will crack and break. Alloy will last quite well, though the outer edge can break with repeated contact on its side. The platform part is flat with tiny ridges on it that will allow you to maintain traction on the pedal for a better grip while pedaling. Sizes vary on the spindle threads that attach to the bike’s crankarm. It will be 1/2″ for department store brands (e.g., Next, Vertical, Roadmaster, Huffy, etc.) and 9/16″ for bike shop quality bikes (e.g., Specialized, Trek, Giant, etc.)
