After riding XC bikes for years with SPDs the first ride on my new Remedy and I'm contemplating flat pedals and shoes for fun. Seems, the argument for and against is still going strong, but leaning towards flats for fun bikes and sticking with locked in for climbing.
I do have an old pair of Wellgos, but they don't have much in the way of grip and I dont really have suitable shoes ATM, only running shoes.
Is there a go-to budget pedal and/or shoe recommended by the wisdom of Rotorburn? The threads I found on here were a few years old. I'd probably be happy with a cheap pair of skate style shoes unless that's a really bad idea, and if I hate the flats, I'll put them on another bike I don't use in anger on the trails.
