Tell me about flat pedals
After years of being clipped in, I've gotten lazy about a lot of things. So I've switched back to flats. I have some old Azonic A-frames I've been using, but I'm curious about these newfangled thin pedals. Is there a significant difference in using pedals that are a few millimeters thinner than mine, or is it just internet hype? And if they are worth getting, recommend me some good ones that are reasonably priced (like less than 80 bucks). Seems retarded that some of these things cost $150 bucks.

If you ever hit rocks with your pedals the Xpedo Spry are garbage. The pins strip the magnesium body on contact so you can't replace them, and I had a pedal completely break in half in the middle of a ride. Didn't even last a season.
Diety Compounds (same as the Nukeproofs) are great. Easily serviceable. Cheap replaceable parts. Pins don't strip. Bodies are rock solid. Have smashed the bajeebus out of them so many times. Some place in China makes them as OEMs for Diety and Nukeproof. I've seen them with other branding, too, but can't remember who.
