It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I've got those same pedals on my trike recumbent. They feel great and incredibly grippy, which is important for avoiding "leg suck."

Don't wait on installing them! I'm sure you'll enjoy them.

They should arrive on Tuesday, and I'll have them installed the minute they get here!

Hey, FWIW, I also ordered a Rockbros wide pedal, which I took for a spin on a 120km ride today.

Based on the platform measurement, it's just a tiny bit shorter than the Catalyst, but for $55 Canadian, so this will go on my other bike when the Catalyst pedals arrive.

With the Rockbros wide pedal, I experienced absolutely zero foot discomfort and my feet feel great after the ride, too. I'm completely blown away.

Mid foot cycling should be taken more seriously. I'm sure some people give up on cycling due to various pains, and they only move to smaller and more restrictive pedals because that's what they've been told are "the best".

I'm so excited to get the Catalysts!

I'll take note of that, especially for my throw around bikes. Platform pedals are my thing.

I don't get hot-foot like you and others, but I certainly do like mid foot riding. I'm just happy with big platform pedals, and I'm glad to support the niche industry for people who do suffer.

You'll definitely like the catalysts. Even the bearings in them are top notch.

The fact that rebuilt kits are available already makes me love them. LOL
