In the moderate to high-end bicycle market, both mountain bikes and road bikes normally do not come with pedals when you buy the bike. These days, those pedals are "clipless", meaning that they come with a set of cleats that the rider screws to the bottom of the shoe. The cleat then mates with the pedal ("clicks in"), resulting in a solid connection between the shoe and the pedal resulting in a more efficient transfer of energy from the pedal to the crank. This has lead to the proliferation of bike pedal companies competing to supply each bike with a new set of pedals. Each company has their own unique configuration of pedal and cleat, and they do their best to try and convince new bike owners that their system is ligher, more efficient, easier to get in and out of, etc... than the other systems. Some of the pedal companies specialize in making pedals (i.e., Speedplay, Crank brothers) some sell pedals along with other bike components (Shimano, Look, Time). Now for the main question: What is the market size for these pedals? The follow-on question is: Can you break it down by the top 3 or 5 companies? Thanks in advance for your hard work on my question! |

Shimano has Dual-sided pop-up bindings that position the body at 12.5 degrees angle for easy and fast entry. Large cages for non-cleated shoes for all around use. Low maintenance sealed bearing cartridge axle. Cleat tension adjustment for each rider preference. Specifications SPD Cleat Surfaces both surfaces Pop-up Floating Cage Spindle Thread BC 9/16" x 20T.P.I. Spindle chrome-moly Cartridge Spindle Cleat Retention Indicator Cleat Retention Adjuster Mud Shedding Design Pedal Body aluminum/ barrel Cage resin Reflector SM-PD40 Average Weight 472g Sahalie LED flashing lights for cycling have been around for ages now. But they all require batteries, which will ultimately find their way into landfill. How about eliminating the batteries by being your own power station? As these pedals rotate... they create a gyroscopic effect, not unlike those ancient dynamo lights that rubbed against a bike's wheel. The gyroscope provides sufficient energy to light up 3 bright red LEDs. According to one user they work well, except when stopped at intersections. |
